HELP! Ram issue and pc wont boot!

[Guest]

Hi,


My brother and I have the same Motherboard and same ram.


He swapped me his ram for mine. I had a 512 stick, him two 512 sticks
(it was his way of paying me for something)



My pc boots fine, his loads then right when windows should load it is
black screen.


Puzzled, we both swap ram back thinking "guess it wont work" and now
his PC doesnt even beep at all, or show anything on the screen.



We've put every piece of ram into mine and its fine, ram isnt broken.
We've also tried putting a dif video card in for him and still
nothing.



Ram is placed correctly, we know that much.



Any suggestions on fixing my brothers machine?

It sounds like his motherboard may have failed.
