Dell Optiplex 780 Error Messages/Diagnostic Codes Power Button and then 1 and 3 number lights flash
My computer was working fine until the other day when the computer power button flashes and then the number 1 and 3 lights flash thereafter simultaneously. Although I've researched the diagnostic code error message on the Dell support documentation, I cannot determine what may be wrong. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may the problem be and how to correct it?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Flashing Amber Power Button = Bad Power Supply.
1 and 3 = BAD RAM
There are no soft fixes for physically bad parts.
Beep Codes
If the monitor cannot display error messages during the POST, the computer may emit a series of beeps that identifies the problem or that can help you identify a faulty component or assembly. The following table lists the beep codes that may be generated during the POST. Most beep codes indicate a fatal error that prevents the computer from completing the boot routine until the indicated condition is corrected.
