Something that I failed to mention is the fact that the failure took place back in the begining of April. For one reason or another, I am just now able to play with the box. The RAM was purchased via "da Internet". After 7 days, the memory is my problem.
I removed everything from the box and put it back. Nothing has changed what I experience when I attempt to boot the machine. Being that you have repaired literaly thousand of PCs, might you be interested in taking on this challenge, Doug? Or perhaps you might be able to refer me to someone who can help with this puzzle? -K On Wednesday 03 July 2002 16:21, you wrote: > I have repaired literally thousands of PCs. 9 times out of 10, > especially in light of the weather we have been having, the problem > is related to electricity.
