Re: [motherboard] Dell Optiplex 390

I think with the call to Microsoft you will be alright, It is still the same computer. If your motherboard goes out you can still legally replace it and use the same key.

Well, did some checks on the system. Pulled SATA cables, and both memory sticks off.. I get POST error code.

Put one stick in, fans come up, but no video. Swap sticks, same thing.

I hate to, but I need to test everything in this box before I buy a new motherboard. So looks like I am going to have to pull my new system apart, swap in the ram, test it. I hate to swap processors, cause then I have to re-goop my HSF.
