Hey everyone! So I experienced a power outage recently, and now my PC is making a beep sound when I try to turn it on. I've checked and reseated the RAM, and everything seems to be connected properly. I'm curious if this beep is an indication of a problem with the power supply, or would it be more related to the RAM itself? Should I consider upgrading my PSU?

It sounds like you've done some good troubleshooting! Usually, a series of beeps indicates a hardware issue. Based on what you described, three beeps typically point to a memory problem. You might want to check if your RAM is seated correctly or test with different RAM sticks. If you still have issues, it could be worth looking into the motherboard too.
Here’s a resource that might help you figure this out: [MSI Beep Codes](https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/3-long-beeps.317951/). But from what you described, since you tried using different slots, it might be time to test a different RAM module if possible. Good luck!
Definitely check the RAM first! If your system works fine in the A1 and A2 slots but not in B1 and B2, it's likely a memory issue. Also, don’t overlook the motherboard; sometimes, the slots themselves can go bad. Upgrading the PSU usually isn't necessary unless you're planning a big hardware upgrade.
