i had to switch out my monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers this past week. i was in between the two setups for about a week and a half. sometime between then switch some kind of problem popped up. i turn on the computer and it wont go past the start up screen. so i open up the case, make sure everything is plugged in and secure. i start it again, still wont go past the startup screen. then i open her up again, take out one of my sticks of ram (dont ask why, just had a hunch). i start her up again and she gets going and makes it to the windows screen then restarts on its own. at this point im like,"***?!?!?!?!" when she starts up again its says GRUB error 17. when i put that stick back in it doesnt say that but it says it cant boor from disk and to put a restore disc in. i think ima put that stick back in and try to reinstall, if it doesnt work i will need lots of help, ill keep you posted
