    I just finish installing XP on a new computer I just finish building. XP was working fine. Had it running for 2 hours. I turn off my computer and went to install another 2gb of DDR2 memory on my computer. The computer wouldn't turn on anymore. So I reopen the computer and made sure everything was completely connected. Try to restart and it turn on for 5 seconds then it shut off. I removed the new ram I installed to see if that was the problem but wouldn't turn on anymore.

    I'm guessing its the PSU. Since it doesn't power on anymore. Is there a way to find out if its the PSU and not something else?

    Here's the PSU that I have.

    Also just in case.

    I have a DVD Burner, 250GB HD, 8800 GT, and a Wireless adapter. I'm sure 550w is enough to power that on.

    Found the problem its the ram stick. One of them is messed up.
