Hello,
I added ram to my Advent 3117 desktop (put in an extra 2 gb). When I tried to switch the pc back on, the monitor was not turning on (but the pc itself was fine. There is also a clicking sound coming from my speakers as soon as I put the power back on (even before switching the actual pc itself on). I have tried putting the old ram back in without the new one with exactly the same outcome. I was told by 'Crucial' that the ram was compatible, but I may not have grounded myself well enough when going into the pc's insides. I also had to apply A LOT of pressure when inserting the ram into their slots - the computer is 8 years old and the slots had never been used before so were quite tough to use (they nonetheless clicked in no problem and were definitely inserted properly).
Any ideas/ suggestions/ help,
Thanks very much
