chrystalrundlet · 01-14-2008, 10:47 AM

I was working on a computer and got some beeps. i need to check the memory. so i used some memory from my computer because its the only kind i had that was compatible. when i put the memory back in my computer, i now have no video. i have tried everything! i am at my wits end and now don't know what else to do. i am really good at this being as i have built and fixed many computers in the past. Please help!

wait a minute, in your other double post, you didnt mention this issue started with you installing memory.

I am working on 2 different computers and have different issues. one is a sony vaio buit the one i am talking about here is on e i built about a year ago. been working excellent until i took the memory out and tried to put it back in.

it sounds like you may not have seated it properly
don't rely on the clips clicking over,it does not mean the ram is seated

I tried reseating the memory, but still no video. I have all the connectore seated well and yet i cannot get the cd drive to open either. The fan is going on the heatsink but other than this i see no signs of life from the pc. I don't understand. there is no real reason for this to have happened. thanks for any help you can give me!!

if there is no power to the cd drives then the power supply is suspect

There are lights on the front of the computer and if i turn the computer on i can turn those on or off with the light button, but i do think its odd that the cd drives don't open.
i ordered a new power supply and i am expecting any day now! i will try it when it gets here to see of i can get it to work for me. thanks again for all your help and any more i can get!

the help i always here, i hope you ordered a decent supply. go over all the power leeds, make sure they are pushed in tight.
i know this sounds simplistic, but many times a mainboard power connector is left out because the "trial" supply doesnt have the correct connection to it.
