Well you might have "fixed" it last time by moving the DIMMs, maybe it was just a matter of reseating them or there is a bad socket???

OK, I am now flumoxed! This new system worked fine for 4 days until I moved to my back bedroom! Plugged it in and it did not work. If fact, it did NOT work exactly like before I moved the RAM dimms........ I have now take the system apart and have the m/b w/cpu and hs/fan mounted plus the pair of dimms.............. I am no clueless as to how to figure out which of the major components is bad (for RMA purposes). I do have a new spare m/b, cpu w/hs/fan, dimms, and psu. I will be building this hdw tonight..... I really hate it when a plan goes into the tank! I do suspect infant mortality. But, at this point I have not got a clue to who/what! If I were to take the bare m/b, w/mounted cpu and hs/fan plus dimms, and, the psu to a "qualified" repair shop, do you think they could sort out just what is broken? ? ?
