Help with an old DDR3 PC
Good evening
I have an old i3 2x4 DDR3 pc that was working fine, however one day I took one of the ram sticks and it just stopped working entirely!
When I turn it on the CPU fan spins at full speed then slows down and keep spinning at a "minimum" speed forever, no video output.
Tried with both sticks, swapped the sticks, tried one at a time in each slot, cleared the cmos (unplugged, removed the battery, contacted both pins, hold the power button for 20s)
Cleared the contacts with isopropy alcohol, the slots with isopropyl alcohol and contact cleaner
Nothing worked
I'm feel like I'm losing my mind trying to solve this, I only removed 1 stick and then it just imploded
Can anyone please help me?
