Booting problem

i took a gig of ram out of my computer and started it up. the computer started but never booted up. the fans ares spinning and the graphic card fan is spinning. i reseted the cmos a wrong way without taking the battery out and i turned on the computer again. i smelled somthing burning. what do u think is the probelm here?? did i burn the proccesor or do i need a new motherboard.

 

If all you did was reset the cmos either by taking the battery out or not should not lead to the smell of burning.

Prior to you taking out the ram was the pc working?; was there anything specific that made you take out the extra ram.

Cheers

 

i have one gig left after i took the ram out. i reseted the c mos jumper thing when the battery was in. i have an athlon 64 3200+ that i got from an e machine. and a x850 saphfire version graphic card. the ram i have is corsair. i recently got a motherboard, the a8n-E. would it have somthing to do with the emachine athlon 3200+ cpu on a new motherbaord. please help it sucks that i can't use my computer.

 

Mr Geek you simply fried your cmos battery OR any other circuit on your motherboard
That is what they call electro static discharge (ESD)
What you were wearing when you touched your CMOS????
