Yikes —
I added new memory for someone and when I rebooted the computer, it came up fine — maybe a little slower than I expected, but it came up. I started an application and the machine shut off completely and won’t do anything now. Is it possible a power supply could go just like that (I don’t hear the fan or anything when I turn on the computer) or is it more likely that I did something by adding memory that exceeded the max speed allowable?
It was a computer that someone else built — not a standard make/model — so it wasn’t cut and dried deciding on the memory upgrade.
Motherboard is M848A v5.0. I installed 2GB DDR 333 memory.
If it was my fault (incorrect memory addition) is it likely the whole machine is fried, including the hard drive?
Please help.
