Memory or PSU? Issues, plz help!

[swinder6kz]

Last night I was gaming to TF2, a blue screen popped up and I restarted. Both my monitors popped on again but got no signal. I thought it was the gtx 460 I installed last week so I tossed my 260 back in still no luck.

I put the 460 back and watched my mobo light up, all my fans kick on and my HD was just buzzing away.

Checking out other options I pulled a stick of RAM and finally got my PC to post. However it has been recovering or trying to recover BIOs all night.

I also noticed the "lightning bolt" light flash or pulse repeatedly some of my friends have told me it's my RAM some the PSU. I'm just trying to figure out what it's NOT.

Please any tips or help would be greatly appreciated. I took off some vacation for the 4th and was going to do some gaming until this threw a wrench into my plans.

try resetting the bios. pull the power cord out of the system and than pull the cmos battery and wait 10 minutes, than put the cmos battery back in and and plug the power cable back in and turn ur machine on and let us know what happens

Okay I got it to boot up on one stick of RAM everything looks okay it's just visibly running slower, assuming lack of RAM. I have no sound but I am also assuming that I need to reinstall some of the drivers for my headset because it was installed only recently.

Was it the RAM that cause the black out? How would I go about testing it, I've been looking for a reason to upgrade my RAM if this is the case.

I'm just pretty extremely happy my PC works again so thanks very much for that!
