System Issues/Need Help

[Spuddly]

Ok I have a BioStar P4M900-M4 and 2GB of Crucial DDR2 677 PC5300 Installed. I got cocky and raised the DDR2 voltage by .2(dont ask why I didnt change timings or speed). Exited BIOS and had no POST beeps or anything, just a blank screen. Now I'm 99.9% positive that I burnt the RAM.


My question is if I put more Ram in place of the burnt ones is the voltage going to remain the same and burn the new sticks as well. Id like to know this before I go and buy more RAM.

PS - Crucial won't take the RAM back burnt will they, they know if you upped the voltage and what not.



System INFO:

P4M900-M4
P4 Prescott 3.0gHz
2GB DDRBURNTRAM
Antec Smart Power 500W PSU
7900GTX PCI-e


Any insight would be appreciated.

Clear your CMOS? Always the first thing that you should do in a situation like this.

Just because it doesn't POST doesn't mean you burned out your RAM. Simply open up your case, pull out the battery, leave it out for 5 min, and then pop it back in. If it then doesn't boot up, then you know you might have a problem.

Thank you for the quick responses. I cleared the CMOS(wasn't aware of this) and I'm running just fine.
