See wether your keyboard and mouse is responding or not when powered on.If
didnt then its RAM problem.Remove installed memory from the slots clean
them throughly also clean theRAM system slots throughly.Then install the
memory and powerup the computer.This should resolve the problem.Cause dust
inside the RAM system slots which may prevent the memory to communicate
properly with system.

Gee, all those fancy initials yet you need to come to a newsgroup to
seek help? Stay the hell away from my computers and my domain. This
just proves that all those little initals and certifications aren't
worth the paper they are printed on.

Hi Farah Farad,

Queen Farah is a girl's name so you need to move over to other forums like;
Washing Dishes or Mopping Floors.

When you are in New Orleans call me so I can take you Alligator hunting in
the Louisiana swamps.

Be careful and don't fall in the water.

Casting my eye down this through this thread, I found it hard to follow,
then I checked my killfile and spotted that Paul1943 was in it. He is
present in there because I recently spotted that he was plastering rude
unehlpful "answers" to people all over the place.

An old famous English saying, " You can't educate Pork ! "

regards, Richard
