[QUOTE="peesemould, post: 1489019, member: 291080"] I took the RAM out and cleaned the dust off. Then one boot it was a black screen and no start up tone. I've removed one of the modules and it boots up as far as the spinning gear and gets stuck again :( Definitely one bad module, as it doesn't boot up at all with just this plugged in. Verbose mode shows it still stops where it did before. Any more ideas? [/QUOTE]
