Well its a ddr2 mobo and the stick is a ebay resell with no name(Which is why I think it killed the pc) And this also happened to my dell T3400. I just want to know if there is ant way of fixing it. I have tried 2 other ram sticks and the 1 gig it came with and nothing.

This came and works with a 1gb stick and only one. I ran it with 2 sticks of 2gb and worked fine, And I buy this 4gb stick and only use it and it wont work with any ram at this point.
