i was on my computer last night and i decided to swap one 256MB ram with a new 512MB. i turn everything off, unplug it then proceeed to swap the RAM. all goes good till i plug everything in and try to turn it on.I get nothing just a blue screen, so i turn it off unplug it and take out the new RAM. on the 3rd pin there is a black spot like it was burnt. i put the old ram back in but i get the same thing.


Did i frie my mobo and the new RAM? any suggestion's??

pull the battery from the mobo for about 10 minutes. plug in the old ram and reinstall the battery. it should reset itself.
