How To Check Bad Ram Slots
Initially thought that the memory stick in the slot was bad but a new stick did not changed the problem. If any memory is in the second slot then the same thing happens. Was able to get it to boot up once by applying pressure to the memory stick but have not been able to do so again. Bonus tip: If the Windows Memory Diagnostic utility fails to detect any bad RAM chips but you still suspect that one might exist, you can always get a “second opinion” by running Memtest 86+. This awesome tool will really put your system RAM chips to the test and weed out any lurking problem components.
