in the past 2 months, I have had a lot of computers (including 2 of my own) that wouldn't come on or just got stuck at the boot on screen.
in each instance, I took the ram out, blew out the computer and put the ram back in and everything thing now works fine.
My problem with that is in the past I would have told the customer that their motherboard and processor were bad and i would have to replace it (I tell them both so that I can actually warranty both), because with the old old hardware you didn't run into this problem unless it really went bad.
the worst part is the computers weren't really dirty on the inside.
what's going on?
