What's wrong with my computer? Not enough RAM or the Processor or what?

hey guys, i've done a clean sweep already...

I REFORMATTED AND REINSTALLED WINDOWS XP...

Do you guys think it's the RAM, or the processor?

Are either of these things near the power supply (possible fryage)?
 
I reformatted it after the initial pictures...

There were 3 Initial Pictures: Those are pre-reformat

Then there are 2 post-reformat pictures

All in this thread.

Look at the later ones and you see that reformatting didn't do anything....

which means it's either the processor or the RAM as people here have suggested.

***NOTE: There is no cheap place for me to get RAM. eBay is the cheapest (512 MB for $89). The reason is because I have a stupid Compaq Presario 5330US, which does not accept general RAM.
 
im sorry i did not see that post. i would try and get a hold of some RAM somewhere were you can return it if it turns out not to be the problem whether it be from a friend or from a store with a loose returns policy (some stores will accept hardware back within 7 days no questions asked). that way you can test it and eliminate it as the cause without spending $120
 
hey NiteStick,

Do you know any stores offhand?

It's memory for the COMPAQ PRESARIO 5330US.

Gosh, I wish it was general memory like every other computer.
 
you might have fried something when you had your psu crash.. see if you can borrow another psu from someone with the same pc and connect it to your pc. if it works, we know the problem. if not, gotta keep looking.
