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?

The nic just doesen't exist to windows. Simple, doesn't exist.
By types I assume you mean pinset, so no.
No to bios option so far as I know.

The reason I thought it was ram, is damaged ram can make windows not even see integrated bits.

The screen says when my nic fails..whatty what?

I get a black screen after the system does it's boot up checks, then the Xp logo boots up after about 5 minutes with just the "damaged" ram in.

With all four 512 sticks in, it takes about 4 seconds.
