Hi everyone...I am new to this forum and am hoping you all can give me some guidance. I am not a tech person but love my computer and am usually able to figure stuff out as I go. Well I installed a 2nd hard drive on my computer and got it working sucessfully. yea! The next day I noted the monitor light was yellow instead of green and the screen was black. After troubleshooting, I determined that the RAM modules are now bad. Is this something that can happen when I wasn't even working on them? I was very careful not to transfer any static I thought. I tried the RAM in my other machine and that monitor came up black as well. I don't want to buy another RAM module just to see and find out that is not the answer. How can I rule out a socket failure? Any advice/direction would be appreciated!
