+Ibbo Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Not an expert but I would open the PC, ground yourself and pull the RAM and then pop it back in. red dwalf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheila Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 being a ludite I would press the F5 key and do diagnostic to see what it says? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Already tried that one Sheila, after ages going through the motions, it just started up, I've tried telling it off and threatened it, but still won't play ball, I'll try ibbo's idea and take memory out and reinstall Sheila 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 You need a really big hammer to give it a proper telling off. red dwalf and +RonC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 With a copyright date of 2008 I would just keep pressing F1 and keep my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottletopburly Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 If you have more than one ram pull one out and reeboot , if it still same keep swapping to see if you can find if it’s a dodgy ram stick . +RonC and red dwalf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Yeah a DIMM is the memory attached to the mother board, if you can find a layout of your PC / mother board then you will know which DIMM to try and remove / re-insert (DIMM2). Failing that you can go into the BIOS and clear previous error logs, which should resolve the issue as there are no logs (there for no previous errors) detected.
