He old machine chose to become a server PC. With only 8GB it needed a 32GB upgrade because most motherboards cap RAM at that point. After installation it beeped three times quickly, which later turned out to be a warning about faulty RAM. I didn’t suspect the memory was bad and couldn’t locate the limit online. Should I purchase another 16GB or opt for a different setup? Also tested using just one stick, but I’m unsure if there’s a RAM slot limit. Tried resetting CMOS and BIOS settings.

The motherboard likely doesn’t support RDIMMs, causing compatibility problems. The combination of the board and memory isn’t working together.

It matches what we expected regarding server memory. After checking more details, several sources confirmed it should have functioned. Thanks for your patience!
