Yesterday, i had to move my desktop pc for rearranging my room. When I tried to boot up my pc it started beeping 3 times, continuous, without showing the first screen on my monitor. I have had the same problem a few times but it always dissappeared after a while. The strange thing is that now, after two days, it still wont boot up. I looked up the beeping codes for motherboards and it said that there was probably a problem with my RAM memory. Is this possible since I have this pc for three years, without any major flaws?
My PC is a three years old Medion Akoya PC without any modifications.

Take the RAM out of the computer and then reseat it. If you moved the computer there's a chance it was bumped loose. IF that's a RAM code. 3 beeps on our HPs (if I remember correctly) is a PSU issue, and 5 is a RAM issue. The codes are different from build to build and brands etc, but just something else to check. If you reseat the RAM, see if you can find another PSU to try if the problem persists.
