Afternoon all!

I was busy working away on the pc when all of a sudden we had 4 powercuts all in about 3 minutes. I turned the pc back on when the power returned and now the pc is stuck on the "DET DRAM" screen on the LCD Poster. I do use a surge protector so i should'nt have blown anything. Any ideas what i need to do.

are you happy to carry on with this trouble shooting issue to carry on the forums or do you wish to go the private route?
either way is good for me

If the system does boot with only 1 stick of ram in then the other ram stick is faulty and needs to be replaced.
