Hey, glad to have you. Does sound like the daughtercard is shot. I had the same issue once. Only way to test for sure is to try a known good daughtercard. But the symptoms are all there. Likely that ram you pulled is ok too. When my daughter card blew, it had trouble with ram chips that are now in use with the new daughtercard. Good luck to you! Perfect opp to get an upgrade chip! ;)
