[QUOTE="RetroAndy, post: 494506, member: 410"] I have friends pc that i have installed a new hard drive and new memory. Since installing the components the pc will not boot or even beep at start up. Basically nothing happens other than power to the fan and drives etc. I have tried booting with none of the drives connected and with the old memory back in but still nothing. Even tried without memory and still nothing. I suspect its the motherboard although i am not sure how it could have happened. The memory that was replaced was 256 ddr2700 and was replaced with 2 512 ddr3200. I did some research before and am sure that should have been fine. The only thing i can think of that may have cause it was the second hd was a little tight installing with the cooler fitted but it did fit without too much trouble. I did release one of the cooler clips though as i was gonna remove the cooler to make it easier but i decided against it and fastened it back in with no trouble. I have had some advice about getting the mobo tested but i thought i would ask see if anyone had any other suggestions i could try. I read something about resetting the cmos settings but i wouldnt have thought i would need to do that just for installing new memory Any suggestions would be welcome Andy [/QUOTE]
