My Win 7 32-bit computer was running fine for several days after adding 2 new 1GB memory sticks to 2 512 sticks. Shut down at night and wouldn't power up in the morning. Nothing, no disks spinning, fans running, etc. All that happens when I push the power on button is that power LED flashes momentarily. Pushing button again elicits nothing. Turning rear switch off and then on again and then hitting power on results in the initial quick LED flash. Thought this must be a power unit failure although the motherboard LED comes on when rear power switch is on. I have double-checked the case's power switch connections as well as the motherboard's.
So I bought a new 500 watt power supply unit -- Same result
So I bought and replaced CMOS battery & re-set --Same result
So I bought a new (used) motherboard -- Same result
So I bought a new Intel 3.4 chip -- Same result
So I bought a new case for a new power switch --Same result
So now I am without a clue. Could memory all be bad; have run OK for awhile and just quit with no indication?
