    You mentioned that your RAM is generic, is that correct? Also, is it one stick or two. If two sticks, how are they configured on the motherboard?

    The slot nearest the processor is one of the yellow ones. Have you tried putting it in one of the black ones yet?

    The problem has started again.
    I tried moving the ram into different slots that I hadn't used before but this time it wouldnt boot atall.
