Generic PC help thread.

I'll make this short.

PC: Has computer parts.
Issue: Boot up is lagged, black screen after mobo screen, integrated nic fails.
Issue2: Figured it was ram, bought new ram, install ram, left "damaged" ram in, boot, it boots with about 2 seconds of black screen instead of 5 mins.
Issue3: Remove Ram "Damaged" doesn't boot at all, no-post beeps, nothing, dead. HDD spins, all the lights say "ON" but video card not sending any signal to the Monitor - Tried two diffrent monitors. No post beeps.
Issue4: Put "Damaged" ram back in, boots up as per-normal.
Issue5: WTF?

why would you think it's the RAM if the integrated NIC fails?

are your new ram and "damaged" ram different types?  do you have some kind of memory interleave option enabled in the BIOS?

what EXACTLY is the screen saying when your nic fails... do you get the windows xp logo (assuming that's your os)?
