My Dell Desktop SCREWED UP by Dell Service Center
 

you gotta love this! About a month ago I took my Dell desktop to get 2 more gigs of ram to my local Dell service center. Their tech guy put the new ram in, charged me like $120 and sent me packing.

About 4 days ago my computer started acting weird and it'd turn itself off. Finally yesterday it wouldn't boot up at all. So I took it to a computer shop a few blocks from my house, and they found that the extra RAM the Dell people had put in was conflicting with the previous RAM, because they had different frequencies.

You would think that of all people, the Dell technician would know not to pair rams of different frequencies!!!

sue them

who cares

Why didn't you just put the RAM in yourself?

When I was in college, for my final project I built a home computer from the ground up. No big deal today, but big stuff back in my day. Built it all up, powered it up, and got nothing. Turned out to be bad memory.
