Computer turns on then off and then on again after RAM upgrade

by dbarboza641 . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

Alright here’s the story. The computer I’m working on just needed an ram upgrade. Running Windows XP with 256 Mb of ram, upgraded it to 2gb of ram. I did the upgrade, closed everything up and went to turn on the computer. Nothing comes up on screen. When I power it up, it turns on for two seconds and then shuts down, only to turn itself back on a second later. I switched back to the old ram and I have the same problem.

I was grounded the whole time I was replacing the ram. The power cable was disconnected. I just put in another power supply to test it and it does the same thing. I’m a tad stumped here, hopefully someone can help me out?
