Right was going to add more memory to my computer so i removed the ram in had installed to get the brand and model of the ram installed and buy the same again so did this noted it all down then replaced the ram and powered on the computer fans spin for about 5 seconds and shuts off again so re-seated the ram a few time and still nothing removed all my drives and still nothing so I tried some of DDR ram that I had in and still same problem

Any other ideas?

hi mate, what happens if you put the old memory back in.
i know you did'nt mention the cpu, any chance you knocked it and maybe the heatsink is'nt sitting right :nowords: try the new memory in another machine, try it in diffrent banks,, check the cable from power supply to motherboard is in right, and as you already said you have tried reseating the memory, you could try it again.
