| 697754 | 2008-08-17 08:26:00 | There was only one there. It says it is a 256MB, DDR, 266MHz, CL2.5 | puffins808 (14043) | ||
| 697755 | 2008-08-17 08:29:00 | Sorry I thought there were two. If beeps indicate a memory error which is correct if there is none inserted. Can you try placing the RAM in the other slot. |

| 697756 | 2008-08-17 08:29:00 | well I would say that its dead, but it is reaching the end of it's lifespan anyway, Dell Dimension 2000 series PCs are quite old, so you might expect it to fail. | SPARTAN 860 (2618) | ||
| 697757 | 2008-08-17 08:41:00 | I put it in the other slot and it turned on. It is having some issues though. I was able to get into it in safe mode and it shortly turned off. It turns itself off. | puffins808 (14043) | ||
| 697758 | 2008-08-17 08:50:00 | Check your fans work and are clean and clear. Otherwise sounds like the things dead. Its basically reached a point where theres nothing more with your limited knowledge that would be worth trying. |

| 697759 | 2008-08-17 08:51:00 | just looking back on your Pictures, have a look at the CPU heatsink - thats the big silver thinned object under the green duct - have a look and see if there is any sort of clip holding it in place. Those two clips you provided pictures of before ( last pic post 34) look like heat sink retaining clips. If the heatsink is not connected correctly the CPU will overheat and cause the PC to shut down - sometimes in a matter of seconds. |

I tried to figure it out but couldn't. |

| 697761 | 2008-08-17 08:57:00 | Follow the pictures here (www.pctechguide.com) If the heatsink is on properly, you'll hear it click into place, on the mobo |
