No, but I can try to make / get one. Just need a flash drive for that now days correct?

Sadly thus far I'm not seeing any positive change. Depending upon which slot the ram stick goes in, the time it stays running increases or decreases by about 2 seconds, with a total of up to the count of 7 before it shuts down to attempt another restart. I kept the cover off a few times to...

I have not tested all the ram in all the slots. I can do that though! What would be the best way to test that? Putting one specific card in each slot one at a time, to ensure it's not the ram slots and the individual sticks? Sadly thus far the pc's not gotten anything going on the screen, it...
