Alright i guess u could call me a newb at computer fixing but i put a 128 meg ram stick in my computer and i hooked it all back up and when turned it on i smelt something burning so i shout off the power supply it was on for about ten soceonds and in that time it blackened a spot on the ram slot and appears to have burnt a hole in it and maybe the motherboard. The computer seems to run normally except i have no video. is this fixible?
 
I've seen a similar problem happen when someone put a RAM stick in incorrectly. The mobo was fine, just ruined that socket...

In your case, I'm not sure what to say. Are you using the same socket? Are you using onboard video?
 
i am not using onboard video i have a p.o.s video card and i only have the ram that was on my computer when i got it i guess i dont quite get what you mean by am i using the same socket
 
yes completely blank like the light on the mointor turns yellow like when you leave the monitor on and turn the computer off




Any ideas appriciated
