computer checks cpu, loads ram and then... nothing.
I am troubleshooting a friend's computer and something weird happens.
The computer starts, discovers the processor, checks the memory and... nothing. Doesn't go pass the startup screen, and does not let me enter the bios setup. The computer is an old Shuttle SV24. There is absolutely nothing plugged in at the moment. No CD, no HD, nothing (just trying to enter the setup). I am running it w/ one PC100 stick of 256 MBs (according to my research, this POS runs w/ either PC100 or PC133). It's not the processor, I already replaced that. Any clues? Thanks, -Facundo.

BTW, if that were the case (133 bus w/ 100 ram), would these be the symptoms? (not entering setup). Thanks, -Facundo.

it sounds like ram failure thus my theory
