As stated in the title my Dell XPS 8300 won't boot up. The power button flashes orange/amber, and beeps four times on a loop. I can hear the hard drive and fans spinning up. Wherever I search this problem I find a different answer of either it's a problem with power supply or motherboard.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
 
RAM problem yes (thank you). Fixed by moving the RAM to different slots. Just re-seating it didn't help. Also, to help find bad RAM you could use just 2 sticks (assuming you have 4), to see which ones are bad. Also, no RAM gave 2 beeps.
