Hi there,
I have done extensive searches and not really found a problem that matches the one a friend of mine is having. A while back he started having problems with his PC - it would cut out and not boot up properly. He took it to a repair place, who said he had two faulty RAM sticks. He took these out and everything was fine for a while, but then the problems started again.
We have cleanly installed the operating system, as we thought this may help, but it doesn't. When the PC is powered on, all fans come on and all the lights, however, there is no "beep" and nothing appears on the monitor. This happens continually. I have tried changing the RAM sticks, and this makes the computer start up properly first time around. However, once the PC is shut down and started up again, the same problems occur. Every time I change the RAM that is installed, the computer will start up first time, but not beyond that.
Any help would be appreciated. Like I say, I hav tried looking up solutions but not really come across anything.
I have attached the file created by Belarc Advisor beow if that is of any use.
Thanks in advance for your help.
