I upgraded some RAM on my PC earlier and since doing this my PC won't bootup, there is NOTHING DISPLAYING on the monitor, but there is still power and all the fans are running, I reverted back to how my RAM was before the upgrade but still I don't get any output to the monitor, I am also unable to vnc onto the PC.

I have cleared the CMOS, reinserted the graphics card & RAM, checked all the cables which are secure and it still dosen't boot up There are no post beeps and I didn't here any bangs so don't think the MOTHERBOARD has fried!

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers

Plug the monitor into another computer.


If the monitor works on another computer, then we've isolated the problem to your CURRENT computer. If it does not work, we've isolated the problem to your monitor..

should of mentioned the monitor works fine, I have tested my other PC and all is in order. Can you try the videocard in a different slot?...Be sure the end of the card stays fully seated when you screw it down.There are no other slot for a graphics card as its an AGPCheck your heatsink ....... is it flush to the motherboard and processor...you may have accidently nudged it when installing the new ram.Heatsink is secure, and removed all dust from heatsink, I am thinking the worse that the RAM has fried the motherboard! Are you getting a beep at startup or are you not getting that far?

...sorry"no post beeps"
Is there a port on the motherboard that you can plug the monitor into?Nope, there is no onboard graphics card, am going to take it to a computer shop today, will let you know the outcome. make sure the RAM is JACKED in tightComputer Shop told me the motherboard has fried, so looks like am buying a new PC!why don't you build your own motherboard? or buy a new oneQuote from: ireland-1 on June 23, 2009, 04:59:45 PM
