OctilIery 05/27/12 12:40:00 AM #1:	So, I've been getting a BSOD for a bit, and memtest confirmed it was bad memory. I finally got to replace them today, but still got a BSOD after a couple hours. I learned that bad memory can corrupt windows files, so went to do a repair install. Upon loading the windows CD I got another BSOD, only it didn't look normal, only a couple lines. I rebooted, and now the PC loads but nothing goes to the monitor. I can't get it to the BIOS, or to reinstalling windows. It acts odd on boot as well - will start, turn off then start again a few times before starting for good. I have no idea what the issue is - I had absolutely no issues before other than the memory issues. -- Joyrock Fresh from my first justified ban.

darkmaster_101 05/27/12 2:05:00 AM #4:	Have you checked the new memory with memtest? Might be worth checking. Other than that, try removing any parts from your pc you don't need (if you have any) like an external graphics card if your pc has one and see if it boots, if it does, you have (probably) found the problem If you have a blank hard drive try that in place of your current one, see what that does. It may be worth trying to boot with no HDD just to see what happens iirc it should still boot and allow you access to the BIOS. Other than that, make sure all the cables and parts are connected, it could be worth going part by part unplugging and plugging all the parts in again, just to make sure. However if you can't get to the BIOS then sounds like it might be a motherboard issue. Hope that helps.

Have you checked the new memory with memtest? Might be worth checking.

Other than that, try removing any parts from your pc you don't need (if you have any) like an external graphics card if your pc has one and see if it boots, if it does, you have (probably) found the problem

If you have a blank hard drive try that in place of your current one, see what that does. It may be worth trying to boot with no HDD just to see what happens iirc it should still boot and allow you access to the BIOS.

Other than that, make sure all the cables and parts are connected, it could be worth going part by part unplugging and plugging all the parts in again, just to make sure.

However if you can't get to the BIOS then sounds like it might be a motherboard issue.

Hope that helps.

Man, that was awkward to type on a tablet

I did check the new memory, no errors.

I'll have to check later about the manufacturer's warranty.

Try resetting your BIOS settings. If you can't get into your BIOS, remove the memory module you just got and see if that lets you in. If it does, reset the BIOS again when you put it back in.

I had some sort of issue like this when I was getting my memory replaced a month or two ago.
