building a computer...getting a black screen

[evilxp2800]

It's true though, your problem does seem to represent a problem with the RAM...

So i was Right ...yeepeee

what if i have old "bands" i dont know what they r called they are grey and thin...would that affect anything?

tried dif ram but held to no avail.

 

[Maximus]

guess my next step is to take every part out and check if it works with my other computer and see if i have a faulty part

 

[Maximus]

you could try reseating the ram too, i keep getting that problem when i clean out my system (ie taking it apart). does your system make any beeping noises when you boot?

how do u reset the ram?

this is going to seem a strange question, but do you have a sound card in it? if so what kind?

i told you it was going to sound strange. But one of the most popular soundcards is the soundblaster legacy card. its cheap and offers great recording and output sounds. it is quite a good card. But I've found that the soundcard sometimes causes boot up problems in certain computers.

got it?

 

[evilxp2800]

yep sorry

 

[dynamitecid99]
