Thread: need help computer broke

i dont see anything wrong with using that set. there might be a mismatch issue, so you might have to completely replace them still.

I live in an apartment with no carpet or w/e so I don't have vacuum cleaners, I clean the traditional way- with a broom xP I use 1 of the sticks because whenever i plug the other stick in, my computer gets a bluescreen and won't start up. It would suck to spend 100 something on new sticks.. i was thinking of buying this instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146788 Ok so i've never used a compressed...

dust clogs fans and heatsinks making it harder for heat to escape. blow out all the dust in your computer and video card and see if that makes a different. your card is probably overheated and most likely needs to be replaced

if your motherboard has onboard graphics then plug into that and see if it works.

The best latest video card would be the GTX295 for Nvidia and the 5870 for ATI.

Man, I salute you. quote arcad3 so what's the best way to dust out my pc? Can I use a hairdryer or do I have to take out each piece and dust it off with a brush? you can use a vacuum cleaner at full power or some compressed air cans.

Compressed air can be found at most stores that have stuff other than only food. As for the memory. Unless you can find the exact same stick purchase new ones. Also if both sticks you have are busted purchase new ones. If you want to use a new one with your old one, you must make sure that the voltages and timings are the exact same. Are you sure your memory is actually dead?
