Okay so I've got some real problems here; looking for any and all help.
I'm currently using an HP Media Center m8020n computer. I've got a 9600 Dual-slot GSO graphics card and 2 GBs of RAM.
I received 2 more sticks of RAM today and was adding them to the computer. After installing the RAM and blowing some pressurized air through the inside of the computer to get all the dust out, I tried starting my computer up again.
It won't let me get past the blue HP startup screen. There is no power to USB devices, so I can't hit ESC for setup, or F10 or anything.
I've since removed all PCI devices, and everything else. As of now I have my motherboard, graphics card, my original 2 GB of RAM and power supply working together and it still yields that same fateful blue screen. I've reseated the RAM countless times to no avail.
Is this a fried motherboard? Is there any way to troubleshoot something like that? Would removing the CMOS battery be a good idea? And what consequences become of that?
Thanks for any help; it's greatly appreciated.
