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?

Pinset? What? Are they different brand/speed/latency? Are you trying to run RAM in dual channel that was  not certified to run dual channel on your motherboard? And like >>2 said, "why would you think it's the RAM if the integrated NIC fails?" You know what is cheaper than more RAM? A PCI nic. You can get one for like $15US.
I am unable to troubleshoot issue #5: "WTF?". It is not actionable.
Unfamiliar with a system called "the Xp logo".
"The reason I thought it was ram, is damaged ram can make windows not even see integrated bits." - or the integrated component failed "The simplest explanation...". Is it an nForce motherboard? The integrated NICs on those are problematic. 64 bit drivers for open source OSs are extremely buggy, using integrated firewall causes failures of various sorts.
