Thread: The screen went blurry

  1. #1

    The screen went blurry

    I'm not sure what i have done. I was checking up the DIMM which i unplugged it and attached it back. The problem came up when i start the computer. The monitor screen went blurry and fuzzy. I don't know if i damaged the ram. Does it affect the startup? I didn't see the Bois screen at all. Before i did the above, the computer functioned properly. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

    I tried with a single ram and the computer started well and of course it got slower without MMRI. Then i put it back, the same thing happened again. Blurry screen...is that mean the MMRI just got damaged?

    Do you have 2 or 4 slots? Try installing it with just the new module.
