Hi, thanks for reading this thread and trying to help.

Heres what the current situation is, I changed the ram's settings from 800 mhz to 1066 mhz and addititionally changed the voltage from 1.8 to 2.1. After finding this change made gameplay instable I reverted the settings. After I reverted the settings I couldn't get the pc to post. I have tried the ram in another computer and it works fine, also I have tried a single stick in slot one of the motherboard and that does not affect anything either. I'm not sure if this is normal, but I can start up the computer with no ram in the motherboard whatsoever. Anyway, I'm wondering if I bricked the motherboard by changing and then reverting ram voltages, thanks for any reply.
