Hi all,
Just added some more RAM to my PC, and now my computer is failing to start. More precisely it will power up for a few seconds before completely cutting out. CPU fan spins normally.
I've tried removing the RAM one by one, down to now RAM sticks at all. Tried removing the GPU and still no better.
I am hesitant to keep trying things because I don't want to cause any more damage to my system.
PSU in question is 550W made by Antec.
GFX Card is nVidia GTX 260 OC Edition (Gigabyte)
4GB RAM (Sticks are identical)
Intel Q6600 CPU.
I'm guessing that the addition of new RAM cause the PSU to fry or could it be something more sinister?
Obviously I can't boot into windows, and I don't have a spare PSU to try.
Thanks,
PS: Merry Xmas all
