POSSIBLE MAC RAM ISSUE
emoms8
✭
I will be using my computer when it will suddenly restart. Most of the time it will immediately reboot but on occasion I will hear the 3 beeps indicating an issue with the RAM. If I wait 5 mins while it is beeping, it will usually start back up after I hold the power button. I used disk utility/first aid and that did not solve the problem. I also held D as I restarted the computer for the diagnostic test and nothing showed up as a problem. Any ideas what could be causing this issue and how could I fix it? Thank you

Hello @emoms8! Welcome to the Community.
If it's three beeps, then a brief pause, and keeps repeating, it's detecting RAM issues. Even if the built-in diagnostics didn't show any results, I'd still say it's probably hardware related.
You can try resetting your PRAM and clearing your system management controller, but otherwise I would recommend bringing the system to our service desk or contacting Apple to see about a more in-depth diagnostic/repair.
