Well ym computer was working fine. I had 512 mb of ram with another 512 on the side. And I wanted to put it in. So I put it in and now when I went to turn on my pc just the fans and heatsink spin. But no post beep and the monitor doesn't show anything. Thanks for your help.

hmm....take off the new 512megs of ram that you put in and turn on the computer again. if the computer works fine after you take the ram off, then the ram you installed is flaky. good luck and post back if you need more help.

Your 2nd stick of memory isn't installed correctly. You either came lose or you installed it backwards.

Well I took it out and it still isn't turning on. I also tried clearing my cmos by taking out the battery and doing the jumper thing. But no luck.

start from scratch
remove the added ram
and double check all connections that might have accidently might have been loosened.
video card, cpu wire on motherboard , heat sink , molex plug going to motherboard...everything

pull the 20-pin molex out of the motherboard and plug it back in, use some force, yes this has happened to me and i was worried but if it is the same thing then it will be fine after doing that
