Hey all. I'll cut to the chase. About 3 days ago i started doing some experimenting with overclock, testing my rigs limits and such when i noticed my case was full of dust and crap. I decided to clean some of it out and part of that process involved taking out the ram. i have 4 sticks of pc3200 and they get pretty hot so i dusted them off good. anywho i put them back in and booted the computer, everything went fine. now the next day i turned it on and before it gets the the dual boot selecter (i hav vista & Xp) it says that there is a problem caused by new hardware/damaged hardware and windows cannot boot and so instead it asks me to insert the system disc and go through the steps 2 repair. Seen as its a home build (that being my mate put it together) i dont have the discs which is no biggy. but i remember something similar hapened to him and in his case it was when he swapped ram, it corupted his OS and screwed his entire computer. Has the same thing happened to me??
Any feedback is great
