Ram is the most likely culprit. If reseating that doesn't work the it is Once Again Time To Take Everything out!

I just cleaned out this pc today too- and was dreading the possibility of that happening! I think I average about 4 out of 5 cleanings with no problems.

Kind of a pain with a small farm though: I try to do a box a week!
So about once a month it takes me a few hours to get one back up!

Try using a common pencil eraser and cleaning the contacts on your memory. Don't rub hard, but this is an excellent cleaner as well as a degreaser.


You can also use it on your PCI, ISA and AGP cards as well.

you will never know ahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahha








































































it was a crappy hsf that came with the comp not making good contact with the cpu.:rolleyes:
i really need to get it a new one.

Or you can be like me:







Keep the crappy hsf (and be a cheap s.o.b.) and spend far too many hours finding ways to improve case cooling and airflow to the heatsink.:D

I need to get like 5 good ones myself!!!
