more....But my computer did not recognized it...So I
tooked it off and it didn't turn on...I unplugged
everything...I tried for hours and nothing happens... The
pc turns on but not the monitor...I put my monitor in my
brother's pc XP and works but not in my PC..I changed
video cards but it doesn't work.....I think something
might have blow off...but i dont know ..Somebody told me
to remove the jumper next to the BIOs which I have
recently done and inserted back again...Well no luck in
there either....I'm trying to remove the CMOS Chip but I
don't know if I could do that .....Is it safe ...And will
my data be lost...? Please I need my pc working back

Something may have been bumped while you were fiddling with the memory, and
now it's a bit loose. Or you could have damaged something.

Without actually looking at it, it would be awfully hard to tell.
