Removing one and attempting to boot I get a bong, but then no video. HD's don't sound like they are coming up. Taking out that stick and putting the other one in I get a bong and then it tries to boot with gray screen, etc. but then the HD's all power down and the machine shut off. Does this mean both sticks are bad or is it just that the HD got corrupted by the bad stick of RAM and needs to be replaced? I have another HD I can use to try it.
