Problem with starting the computer

I have this motherboard. It worked great till yesterday. I pulled out RAM and put it back. And now the computer won't turn on. I hear that lousy beeps every 10 seconds. Is it possible that BIOS was locked or something else concerning hardware changes??

Remove the ram and check for any dust deposits in the ram slot, if you replaced the same ram stick, it should be alright. If you need to you may need to reset the bios, by way of the JBAT 1 terminal CLRCLK, or CLRCMOS terminals or similair, so refer to your manual. Also remove all peripherals apart from the ram processor and hard drive and try again, if you have 2 ram sticks try one at a time

My pavilion media center pc m8047c, is having a problem that when i push the button to turn it on, a loud beeping noise starts and it sounds like it's starting but really the screen stays like if...

sounds like ram to me. Open the case and pull one stick of ram,then restart the pc.If the same happens switch out ram one at a time till you've tried each stick by itself in the motherboard.BE SURE TO NOTE THE WAY THE RAM CAME OUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE SLOTS TO FIT IN!! REFERENCE THE PICTURE. GOOD LUCK!!!

My dell 4700 diagnostic lights A&B are yellow, C&D are green & the monitor is dark. I can not get anything to show up on the monitor. Everything has power & was working normally yesterday....

the LED indication is a Memory failure. Make sure when inserting RAM that the power is unplugged and you press and hold the power button till all power is discharged from the motherboard. WHen inserting RAM, make sure levers are int he full back position and you press down firmly with both thumbs till the module snaps in place and the levers snap up in the locked position on their own (DO not pull up the levers)
If there is no change trying RAM modules in slots individually, then either all RAM modules are damaged, or the slot is bad, in which case a motherboard is required

My mother board is not runing

Turn the computer off and disconnect the power cord. Open the case and remove the RAM. You need to install the RAM in the same slots that it was in before you removed it yesterday. There is a retainer at each end of each slot. Push those down and away from the RAM to release the memory. Depending on the memory, there will bee one or two indexing slots in the contact edge. There will be corresponding indexing ridges in the memory slots. Align the slots in the memory with the ridges in slots of the mother board and insert the memory. Make sure that the retainers close fully when the memory snaps into the slot. Close the case and connect the power cord. Turn the computer back on and it should boot normally.

Good Luck, and please let me kow how it works out for you.

Computerwill not start

if you can't even access the bios, the first thing i'd do is to try and reload it. open your computer, find your motherboard, and find the little cmos switch.change it's position, wait a for 30 secs, the flip it back in the previous position. if your computer still won't start, then your motherboard is prolly faulty and you need to get a new one.

your ram can be removed by first pressing down the little switches on either side of the thingy that holds the ram, and then gently removing it. when you put in the new ram, make sure your pc is placed so that you're putting the ram in from above. then just gently squeeze it in and flip the switches back. you should hear a click.
