Computer was working fine, playing a game when all of a sudden it just restarted, but after post, "201-memory error" showed up with a bunch of text saying something along the line of "memory test failure".
So I tried running it with each of my dimms alone, but every time the screen is just black, and the fans just start running max speed.. It's like it's not even connected to the hardware (I've checked. Everything is connected)
Edit: I forgot to say that when the error message showed up, there was an option to continue booting by pressing F1, it boots correctly but when I checked in task manager, only 3.9gb were available, and 6.1 were hardware reserved (I have 10 gb in there btw. Ik ur not supposed to mix and match ram but it's an old computer that I use in rare occasions and I'd rather use 10gbs of mix and match rather than 6gbs of healthy relationship ram). So I assumed some of the dimms are dead and that's why I ran them alone each. But now its like they all are dead ;-;
