all these indicate a failing hardware part,
it can be the motherboard, ram, cpu or GPU

A Reference Guide to the Dell OptiPlex Diagnostic Indicators
2, 1 two blinks followed by a short pause, one blink, long pause, then repeats. CPU Failure
Run the Intel CPU diagnostic tools.
If the issue continues, contact Dell technical support.
Rarer a CPU goes out. Try reseating it and make sure there's no bent pins. I also saw indicators that it could be a bad motherboard, but then you'd get 2 amber 1 white blinking pattern.
