Start Up Problems, Please Help :(

[johncarlosbe]

yea does it stay for an hour for a few days. thats what i'm asking.

[Trippyskittles]

I don't know if it will or not, I have not tried that.  Should I leave it on overnight or something? 

[johncarlosbe]

i would,  if it stay's on then is not overheating thats good or no hardware problem, thats good.

[Trippyskittles]

Alright I can do that.  I guess I can just get back to you tomorrow.  Anything else I might wanna try in the meantime? 

[johncarlosbe]

no just check and see if it stay's on then we go form there, okay

[Trippyskittles]

Ok, sounds good then.  Thanks.

[Trippyskittles]

Actually, now that I think of it, the computer was left on all night accidentally earlier on during this troubleshooting and it was still running just fine in the morning.

Ok guys, well i tried the new hard drive and what not, but now i think it could be a different internal problem. Could it possibly be a busted processor or the memory? Overheating maybe? Thx.

[Trippyskittles]

Anyone? John?

If you have more then one ram stick remove them and leave just one install. start the computer and see what happends and leave it on for awhale.

Now if the computer is fine, turn it off and try outher stick.in the same slot, keep doing that in till the problem comes back. let me know how it goes.

so we are doing is testing your ram.

[Jacob Vile]

Ok ok ok, I left one stick of RAM in for about 10mins and the same problem happend. But when i tried the other stick, it was fine, i could reach my desktop and everything. So im guessing that means i have a RAM problem?

Thx

Sounds like you have a big RAM issue.

 

Try the suspected RAM stick alone in another computer, if you have one. If similar results occur, then begin the RMA process with your RAM manufacturer.

All though i will do what you have told me to, my pc stopped working AGAIN. Could both of my RAM modules be corrupted???

[johncarlosbe]

can you broow some ram from a friend and try that.

[Trippyskittles]

He just tried a brand new stick of the same RAM by itself and it still would not boot.  Some other folks are trying to help us over here if you want to have a look.
