[QUOTE="donetao, post: 339240, member: 27614"] Hi [USER=28937]@Rozesky2[/USER] If you can't boot from a live CD, then there is big trouble. Shot in the dark. Sense you replaced RAM with known good RAM, that should rule out the RAM. You might try removing the HD and try to boot. There's a chance that the HD is bad. It would be worth the effort to try another HD. These are my thoughts at this moment!! Post back if you find a solution!!;) To this day, if no hard drives are connected and nothing like a USB drive is connected, and there isn't a bootable CD in the CD drive, you'll see the typical manufacturer logo, and then a "Missing Operating System" or "No Bootable Device Found.
