i have an HP desktop, i recently went to look at the DDR's. the computer was working fine before i turned it off, opened the tower and took out one stick of ram, and then just put it back, nothing else, now when i turned the computer back on, it only shows glimpses of the boot-up prossess but doesnt allow me to do anything, then it just shows nothing, the tower is running fine and I've checked all the wiring. plz hlp

ok I HEAR A BEEP WHEN I TAKE OUT THE RAM STICKS, AND THE COMPUTER DOESN'T BOOT, BUT WHEN I STICK ONLY ONE BACK IN IT DOES THE SAME AS BEFORE AND ONLY SHOWS A SHORT GLIMPSE OF THE START-UP
