The problem started last sunday. Ga-edit ko ug video when all of a sudden, my computer went dead for no apparent reason. No power surge, no brownout; it just went poof all by itself. So akong gi-unplug ang power, plugged it back in then turned it on. Diha ra siya kutob sa CMOS screen nya after a second mo-off na sad. Wala may error message nga mo display or anything, mo-off ra gyud sya a second after i-on nako. Ang mo-display kay kuan gud, normal boot screen; pangan sa processor and stuff pero walay RAM count. I first suspected the power supply and processor. So I took them out and tried it on my cousin's computer. Ni-function man didto sa iya akong processor ug power supply, perfectly normal. I tried it back on my comp, basig naa ra unyay lu-ag ba or something; wa gihapon. Still the same result. I haven't tried the RAM yet kay karaan man ni akong RAM gud. Duha ka PC133 SDRAM, but my board can also accomodate DDR. Here are my comp specs:

Intel Pentium 4 2.2GHz
2 SDRAM PC133
Redfox U8568 Pro
Seagate 20GB

Tabangi ko ninyo! WAAAAAAH!!!! Palihug lang sad ko ug post kung unsay mga possible na naguba sa akong unit.

bai, actually most of the pc today is when goes old, grows badly,

pc133 RAM has problem due to its component problem.

ur pc133 has a problem with frequency synchronization with ur system.this is the most problem of pc133 manufacturer
ur ram cannot comply with ur system speed
ur ram still ok with the older pc like P3 or p4 for pc133 pc.
the oscillator of your ram surrendered already, this is because of the power consumption of your system. there are so many devices on your system that needs high current, ur ram's oscillator is on degraded mode due to current requirements changed.

try to remove one of it or try it one by one.

if not working, u have to change ur ram.

Okay. Other than the RAM going bad...any other insights? Anyone?

considering that your POST ended before the memory check, i suspect your memory bro. start there.
Do you hear any beeps during the POST?

[hubaga_ate_oi]

have u tried resetting the bios settings?

as i've said ur ram still in good condition but ur board and ur ram are
not compatible anymore due to the change in frequency.

No beeps whatsoever. Now that you mentioned it, I haven't noticed any beep everytime I turn on my PC. Its been like that for a year plus but it works fine. Katong bag-o pa ni, naa may beep everytime mo-boot. After a few months, nawala man. Okay ra man sad iyang function, so I didnt pay it any mind.
