Put new ram and it won't work
Purchased a 8 GB ram for my Dell desktop slim line. Specs said to install DDR3L ram.
Fit easy, but when I powered up it computer would beep. Two times and then three times.
What does the beeping mean. Bad Ram?
Dell has specific RAM requirements and you will have to look it up. PNY, CORSAIR, and Kingston are good sites to check. You type in your exact model Dell and it will tell you which module to buy.
if you know you bought the right one then either the RAM isn't sitting right in the clip or it's bad RAM. Also make sure you are not putting too much RAM in (there are limits per motherboard so check your manual. Even if the manual says it takes up to 8GB RAM, you might not be able to put it all one one stick - you would need two 4GB etc).
