Risky PC

[Tenko]

This thread shall also be called return of the muppet.

A few weeks back I bought and installed some new RAM...


... and bust my PC.

Oops




Now the repair man has been out and and (being under warranty I had removed my new RAM) and checked out my PC. Seems I had blown the processor, which he has replaced (and upgraded ).

Now I could of damaged the processor when I cleaned up all the dust inside, 2 years worth in fact so maybe it had just overheated. Or maybe I knocked it or maybe the new RAM was bad or badly installed and THAT blew it up.




Q: DO I cut my losses now or see if the RAM is fine and put it back in?

I would say, Cut your loses now. But then for myself in your shoes. I would probebly pop it back in, Just to check So imo for you from me. Cut your loses.

Hehe, exactly!

Cost of memory £36

Value of FREE upgraded processor £70


So I'm actually up.

But you really want to know if there's nothing wrong with the RAM. Wish I had my old PC could take it but it won't. I've got this stick of RAM sitting there and there maybe nothing wrong with it and my pc really needs more memory!
