I recently assembled two computers, and everything went fine at first. One was assembled on a friday, and the other one was assembled the next monday. All week, they ran without problems. Now, after having not been used over the weekend, both had problems this morning when they were turned on.

The first one had a beep code indicating a memory problem. So after trying the memory stick in different slots, I decided to take one out of the other one (it had two running in dual channal). That got it working. So the other one now has only one 512MB stick of memory. But when I turned it on, it wouldn't work. The hard drive and cpu fan would spin up, but nothing on the screen, and no beep at all. Even though the signs didn't point to it, I decided to mess with the memory (put the one DIMM in various slots, and also putting the one from the other computer back in) and also to try clearing the cmos (unplugged the system and took the battery out for 10 mins). Neither worked.

So..what do I blame and where do I proceed? Unfortunately, both computers have different kinds of sockets for their processors, so I can't move processors around. Thanks in advance for any replies!
 
You could reseat your videocard. It's possible that you could have knocked it loose during your memory swap. Always recheck ALL of your connections when you do stuff like that.
 
There is no video card, or any pci cards. Everything is onboard. I probably should've mentioned that.
