Your problem could me your RAM. The RAM stick could of gone bad. Take the RAM you
have in it now out and try a different one that you know is good. Even if it's smaller
than what you had in it, at least you'll know it it's that or not. If it works,
you can add more to it later. If you don't have an extra one, see if a friend has
one you can borrow just to check it. If needed, go buy a new one, if it don't work,
take it back. If it does, well then it wasn't a waste of money.
Good Luck!
