Eeep.....OH's just tried to find out what RAM our "new" computer has and he's taken it out of the PC....now it won't fire up!!
When it's switched on I can hear something whirring (assuming it's the cd drive as there's no BIOS beep) and the monitor is saying "No Signal"
Has he broken it already??:mad::mad::mad:

First of all, did he take ESD precautions while handling the RAM etc, i.e. was he at ground potential with an earth strap?
Guess not........
Ok, how many sticks of RAM are there?
If more than one has you tried using another stick of RAM on its own to eliminate a faulty block?Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0 -
There's only 1 stick of RAM......512mb 240pin DDR2
He just took the side off and took the RAM out......I was in the bedroom while he did it.....he only wanted to know if it would play his stupid games! ARGH!!Sealed Pot Challenge Member 1216 -

Is the RAM stick seated properly? They only go in one way round!That gum you like is coming back in style.0

He might have knocked a few connections loose when getting the ram out.
Check all plugs a secure and pushed firmly into their sockets...
Also depending on how many slots the PC had for memory, it might need to be in the first slot to be seen.Laters

Did you check the connections from the monitor to the PC ?0

Make sure the two levers either side are 'clicked' in and gripping the sides of the RAM. If that doesn't work, try moving the RAM to the next slot along, and see if that does anything.The quickest way to become a millionaire is start off as a billionaire and go into the airline business.

Is the ram seated correctly, ive done it myself where ive not seated the ram and the pc wont start, a way to tell if its seated right is if the 2 white clips are locked down correct0

If you're not getting a BIOS beep, it's a good indicator the RAMs not been put back in right. Follow advice as above and check it's in firmly with the locking clips up against it or try a different slot.0
