I assume you bought the desktop as a whole, what model is it?

Use this to try and identify what might be going on, check the diagnostic light, and beep code sections.

Thanks for the link. I was trying to find something along these lines and not doing a very good job... Error lights indicated RAM, just unhooked one of the sticks and it's working. Mother fuck.

Oh well.

Thank you all so much for the help though. Appreciate it!

RAM is one of the most inexpensive parts to replace. Be happy. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Just poor is all.

I think there may be some RAM lying around the house anyway though (assuming my Dad will let me steal it before I go back to school).

Thanks again

generally when i have had ram problems, sometimes switching the sticks between the banks gets them all working again. also, sometimes just pulling it out and reseating it can fix it -- might want to try that before going all frankenstein on other comps in the house [You must be logged in to view images.
