Nightmare :(
Was just surfing the net when I got a blue screen.
I didn't read all the blue screen but it said dumping physical memory and counted to 100.

It then rebooted and wouldn't POST, tried unplugging from the wall for a few mins but still no joy.

Tried reseting the cmos, and a different gfx card, no good.

Disconnected the hdd, and removed/ tried each stick of ram, no good.

Parts are Asus P5B mobo, 2160 cpu, 2 x 1gb crucial ram, 1950xt gfx.

Does this narrow it down to either mobo or cpu?

Was lightly clocked at 9 x 210.

Help :confused:
 
give it a bios reset. then try and turn it on. i rekon the crash was due to overclocked memory.
dodgey memory is very bad to have, its writing wrong data to the drive and you risk data corruption due to it.

give the bios reset a try, if u can;t find the jumper pull the battery out for a few mins.
 
Tried that still no joy.
When I say it wont post I mean the monitor won't even power power up, tried another monitor so I know it's not that.

When you talk about the RAM, could I have fried both sticks?
