another hell day in professional life -- upgrade the ram in a HP pro 3000 SFF

today, its the 2nd attempt to upgrade the memory from 2 x 1GB to 2x2GB.

tried 2x2GB our own spare ECC memory

tried 2x2GB HP original upgrade memeory

no luck at all, the screen is just blank

after disconnecting the power I had to push the power button again to discharge

in disrepair , I discharged CMOS battery, all the hell broke loose

first , it wont start, it reboots in a cycle, I saw this before, w7 startup repair didnot work, in the bios, I changed from IDE to AHCI, it starts ok

next  problem is the clock, fixed the clock

next , it failed to connect to domain, trust relationship broken, reset the computer account,

move off domain. rejoin the domain

all seems still in place,

it could be the mb faulty, doesn't like high density rams
