First thing's first: hi.
Specs:
Asus P5N-E SLI mobo
Intel Q6600 Quad Core Processor
2X1GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 RAM
Nvidia 8800GT (EVGA)
630W PSU
570 GB HDD (2X Western Digital, 250, 320)
So.... somehow on of my sticks of RAM fell out onto my graphics card, I have no idea how. It's been there for at least 3 days, and I've been playing intensive games like Left 4 Dead and TF2. I noticed slowdown in the games, but mostly let it pass. Today I finally realized that the RAM was on the GPU.
I put the little S.O.B back in, and the computer won't boot. I noticed that when I do put it in, it gets incredibly hot. The computer boots fine without the (supposed) defective stick.
So is it fried and useless? I just checked the warranty, and I will be able to send it in, but I want to make sure there are no other possible underlying problems before I do so.
Thanks!
