make sure that you have put the memory back in the dimm correctly and that all of your other connectors are firmly in place. if you mishandled the memory dimm then its possible that youve killed it through ESD (electro-static discharge)

if you have 2 memory modules in the machine take out the same one that you took out before and see if you can boot.

if you can then the module you originally took out to look at is now dead

Studio Comp: AMD Athlon XP 3200+ OC ~ 2.35GHz runs at 40 celcius idle and 48 under stress (aerocool GT1000 really works!), Asrock K7VT4A , 1024MB Dual Channel DDR 400, MSI Nvidia FX5200 128MB OC ~ 600MHz mem 350MHz core,80GB SATA + 200GB SATA + 120GB IDE, 7.1 Channel Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum EX sound and midi interface. 19" Sony SDM-HS95 TFT monitor - sweeet
Comp2: AMD Sempron 2400+ OC ~ 2.0GHz (Stable), Asrock K7S41GX, 512MB DDR 333, Onboard Graphics, 40GB Maxtor IDE


set of monitors on the way soon :P

it is possible yes im just trying to eliminate all the options before telling you that lol

if you have onboard graphics, take out your graphics card and try just using the onboard to see if you get any response at all.

if your still getting nothing from it then youve killed either the mobo or the cpu or infact everything that was attatched to the board.

the only way to find out if all your components are working is to try them in another system but in doing that you risk damage to the system your trying them in
