I can't get on of my desktop computers to work. I would turn it on, nothing would should up on the screen. I swapped monitors then I would get the strart up screen but the system would just hang after adding the memory up. Then nothing. Restart same thing. I swapped video cards no luck. Swapped ram, no luck.
I'm running windows xp pro.
Anyone have any ideas please help its urgent!
thanks

Give me your 'beep' sequence at start-up.
If it goes like di-do-di-do none stop, it mean that your RAM fail

It was giving me one beep...i ended up disconnecting the floppy things started working again. So I got the system up and someone was working on it, then bam freezes up, nothing, restart, get a blank screen again. Oh and NO beeps on restart

CPU fan still turning/seated well on the CPU?
See if it comes on after it has sat and cooled down for a while.

Your machine run well before installing new memory ?
Verify your memory speed, are they compatible ? Remove all your memory, boot up your machine and you should hear that beep : di-do-di-do-di-do ... ( your Motherboard is saying that you did'nt have memory installed )
If your not earing anything, ( your in deep shit ) see if power goes up ( check led )
If your ear that diag , reinstall your original memory, check if it boot ok
Do it with method : Was good before, now is bad ... what's have be done between ?
Undo fautly move and see if it's better
Hope that's will help

guliber I didnt install new memory just swapped memory from my machine to see if it made a difference. There was no hardware changes does lately with the system the only thing that is a bit different is I have a wireless router now, but it was working fine even after that.
