ok ok, i was watching a vid in the new winamp, got like 30 secs into it and my computer logged off, and shut itself down, in the proper windows like style. but i didnt ask it too...

so the computer is off, so i turn it back on. asks me if i want

safemode
safemode w networking
etc

so i decided to go with last known working configuration...

so i get the windows loading bars...

and then i get a blue screen that goes to quickly for me to read and then it reboots. ive tried all the options, safemode, safemode with networking, command prompt, and normal, and i get the same flash of blue screen then reboot.

HELP ME!

umm that blaster virus thing? :S

Its your ram, same thing happend to me.

so replace the rams? or open up the boxen and jiggle it ?

sounds like something has shat itself

what ram u got?

try taking one bit out and trying each module on its own

Yeah exactly.

i think i just cooked my ram, what side is it sposed to go in ????

turn your computer off immediately and never touch it again

could it be possible that i just fried the mobo by putting the ram in wrong ?

it only goes in one way????

hahahaha

Which way?

HAHAHAHA .. its possible, but it shouldnt go in the wrong way.

ram only goes in one way look at the ram slots and the ram stick it self

Just pop the ram out and give the gold pins a clean over with a cloth or something and stick them back in making sure they go in properly and try again

They will only fit one way both sdr and ddr types. I don't know how people can put them in the wrong way, for them to clip in you would have to push them with a LOT of force and snap the little divider bit in the ramslot on the mobo...

If stuff is taking a lot of force to go in dont push it harder ffs something isnt right :)

err....heres a general rule... if it doesnt fit in snug..dont try at all lol.

unless u totally snapped ur dimm slots ram shoudnt be able to go in the wrong way :)

sounds like f***ed ram or hdd try memtest86 from www.memtest86.com and the diagnostic tool for you hdd available from your hdd manufacturer (my money's on fuxored ram)

more likely fuxored user

Have you tried a windows repair? I had that happen to me ages ago and I did that and it fixed it. So obviously it wasn't anything hardware for me then.

gentlemen, i think we have an ID-10T error on our hands.

format

Format doesn't work. Do a ram test somehow.

I had the computer tech at game dude tell me that i had put the ram in backwards and that it was a common problem. me thinks that game dude are dodgy in products and service.
backwards... common problem... what a tossa.

How the f*** do you get it in the wrong way unless you talking about on of these.

You can put ram in backwards. Trust me, I saw burnt out ram, due to incorrect installation, come in all the time at my old work place.

Perhaps they were using cheap ass components (how unusual for Game Dude) that had cheap ass dimm socets which only have the middle guide, I'm yet to see one but that is the only possibility notice how the 2 notches GUARANTEE the dimm will always go in the right way!

wow - I just had this happen to my Mrs' machine. Faulty ram so the techy tells me. They're testing it today to see if it's the board damging the ram.


it was a PQI PC-133 512mb stick... she had a good life :)

gentlemen, i think we have an ID-10T error on our hands.

har-har

You are a f***ing idiot if you put ram in the wrong way.

people who are ragging on me about the ram, all your mums are fat.

how am i gonna learn about this s*** if i dont try?

i took it back to the shop, its all under warranty and stuff so they will fix it for me.

hey thats unfair, Its glandular.

Seriously... there is only ONE way ram can go in, if you use your Grade 1 skills and follow the dots, you will see that the slot matches the divots in the ram, reverse the ram and the slots.. wait for it.. DONT MATCH UP!$!@%@^ haha oh god, that must hurt the old grey matter up there.

There is learning and then there is stupidity.

your right dude, but its not like the slots were layed flat on my desk with nice bright lighting, the slots were vertical inside my machine, next to the vid card and the hdd and the fans and s***, and with my hands trying to shove the s*** in i couldnt see anything.

oh and im sorry to hear about your mum :\ life must be tough for a fatty.

Tools required for putting dimms in the wrong way.

that's right, because GameDude make their own stock and don't buy it from the same wholesalers that sell the SAME stock to The Dish Shop and Umart

Punker. Sorry, let me put it in plain english for you. I don't work there anymore. So? That doesn't mean that people who speak s*** and spread lies should still speak s*** and spread lies and get away with it

Receptionist: How do you write women so well?
Melvin Udall: Easy. I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.

Ring a bell.

the only way to put a dimm in backwards is if the quality of the dimm slot was so piss poor that the guides where ever non-existant or so piss poor to allow a newb to put dimm in backwards. And as you said

You can put ram in backwards. Trust me, I saw burnt out ram, due to incorrect installation, come in all the time at my old work place.

piss poor components supplied by?
