I ordered 32gb of memory from Crucial. I used their utility to find the right memory. This is the memory. The motherboard is an ASUS 1155 P8P67 PRO REV 3.0 S/L.
After fitting the new memory I powered the PC up. It powered itself off, and then almost immediately powered itself up again. After a few seconds I could smell burning, so I powered it off and put the original memory back in.
Now when I power it on with the original memory, it does the same thing: it powers off almost immediately, and then powers itself on. If I leave it running, I no longer smell burning. It sounds as though it accessing the disk, but it doesn't boot up. The motherboard doesn't make the beep that it used to make during boot up. It doesn't output anything through the video card. It doesn't connect to the local network.
I don't know what I should try now. Is there anything I can do to test exactly what has blown? Where would be the first place to start?
Thanks for any suggestions.
