Hi everyone,
I tried to install the RAM into my old computer by swapping the PC2100 2x256mb with PC2700 2x256mb from another computer. However, after I installed it and tried to start the computer up nothing would show on the monitor but the computer would be running.
So then I thought maybe I'll just switch it back to the old PC2100 RAM because I hoped I didn't mess up the computer somehow. Sadly, the same thing occurs, nothing shows up on the screen but the computer runs.
What I do know is that there is no connection problems to the monitor or video card. I also know there can't be anything wrong with the monitor itself because I tried hooking up the computer to another monitor and it still won't show up on the screen.
My question is: If RAM isn't installed properly or if the banks are damaged will it cause the screen to be blank? If no, what other problems could it be.
Update: The Num Lock light keeps blinking when the computer is turned on (the screen still doesn't come up.) What does this mean?
Thank you for your help.
