Question

Help answer this question below.

I installed new memory and when I boot my PC, the fan turns on but that is it. I removed the memory board and it is still doing that same thing. I have checked all the connections and none seem loose. What's wrong?

    Power cables and IDE cables good to the drives? You didn't disturb the other Ram in there? It's the same specs?
    One last thing.
    If this is a Dell,take out that ram,unplug the power cord and wait about 5 minutes, plug it back in and reboot. Bloody boxes are famous for this. They don't clear any possible errors. The ram you bought, in all likelyhood,the Dell didn't like.

    That sucks. And all the power cords are connected? I'm assuming when you removed the new memory and you reinstalled the old memory??? Hard to diagnose through something like AB -- so you're saying your hard drive doesn't even spin up? You should probably take the computer and all your memory in for repair, hard to imagine that changing memory would kill your computer, but you may have been carrying a charge and damaged something inside when you stuck your fingers in there... a hardware tech could probably find the problem quite quickly.
