But im stupid and cant read numbers, its said 3 and  4 the entire time

Then use single RAM sticks, swap them around the slots, try to get some RAM from another machine and see where this takes you. If all that does not help, the MoBo might just be gone

My prebuilt I just dissasembled and reasembled wont start or post.

 

I press button, and i hear 6 long beeps. A 3 and  4 is ilimunated, acording to the manual, that means there is a gpu problem. I removed the gpu to use onboard, and it has the same issue. Ideas?

Its a dell dimension e510.

Clear the CMOS maybe?

 

If that doesn't work, do you have another PC you can test stuff like the GPU in?

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Ill try that.

 

I do have another pc, but it would be a hassle, as that one has a full custom loop.

If clearing it by jumper / button did not work, you can try removing the battery from the board if possible.

Also, are the error codes identical now?

I did remove battery.

 

Yup, identical codes.

Try a reseat of the removable components (RAM, etc) and see what happens. If that doesn't work and the machine still gives the same issues without a GPU installed, it's likely a motherboard issue.

2 RAM sticks installed? or even 4? Just use one, remove the gpu and try again, build it up again piece by piece from there.

According to your first post 3 and 4 are illuminated - but from what I read in your provided link that should be a Memory issue not a GPU one.

It may have been 2 and 4. I think it was. I'll check in a few hours after watching the star trek movie
