| I have a dell dimension 8100 p4 , 1.5ghz, i changed the ram but now my computer wont start, has this got to do with the ram i installed or has the motherboard gone completely, i do not want to buy another power supply if this is not the problem what should i do? |

| Did you put the old RAM back and see if it would boot?

| Put it back as it was and see if it works, then it is the new RAM which probably is the wrong speed/type.

| That is just it sparking when it makes a connection I would say, are you sure the RAM is slotted in fully because if not it will not boot
