    I feel like a fucking moron right now ...

    Someone had suggested Resetting the CMOS for the BIOS in order to get my RAM working again , think it might work ????
    I don't know for sure, it was just another idea to help bro

    I don't know if resetting the cmos battery will actually do anything to help with the ram.

    what do computer places charge where you're at to look at it? $50? might be worth it...

    Right ... thats the next step assuming monday i haven't got it running ...

    The best place around me will run diagnostics for 60 on a laptop , 30 on a desktop ...

    I think there is a possibility the CMOS will work , but at the same time I'm feeling like its a really slim one ...

    Oh well ... lesson learned ... its easiest to remember a good lesson when you get stung hard.

    Haha , you're right ...

    We'll see what happens ... I ended up trying to run it solo with the Original ram in the other Ram socket ... no dice ...

    I'm pretty sure I cooked something because the only thing thats making sense is that the motherboard or cpu shit the bed.

    I'll keep you guys informed.
