Sorry to hear that , but thanks for letting us know.

If you post the brand and model of the motherboard then im sure one of us can tell you what ram you need. (but remove the powercord from the pc this time when installing)

That is the chipset on the motherboard. Can you run this: http://www.pchelpforum.com/your-pc-d...-out-here.html and tell us what it says about your motherboard.
