How did you check it?
All the references online (that I have found) only point to a memory failure for that blink code (three slow flashes). Nothing says it's a BIOS error.
There are plenty of responses in this thread telling you how to recover from a bad BIOS flash, but I still don't think that's your problem.
Ok. there is only one memory slot and a spare from adding another slot (not module). What I did was remove the RAM that was in it with a different working one but it still didn't work. Well, then maybe its the RAM slot that is damaged, and being that it's only one slot, I have no choice but to treat the issue as a faulty board. Any other suggestions to check if it's the memory?
Thanks

Run memtest also do you have another CPU to test with?

Is it time to make a book on this?
My money's on a fried CPU.

My money's on a cheap laptop that's ~4 years old.
@Haroon92 I'm all for learning stuff, but you need to pick your target.
I have alomot an eaxact replica of that Model, but that one doesn't carry a cpu fan. The RAM from this laptop is the sam and it works.
