Remove an reinsert the RAM (memory sticks) on your motherboard.  If that doesn\'t work, try known good RAM or buy some new RAM.  Good luck!

Defective Ram
1)Remove the RAM & clean its Sticks
2)Clean Dust from the Ram Slot
3)Now Insert In the slot correctly

After then not works than buy a new RAM

Before the POST your pc checks for  things.
1. Mobo
2 Processor
3 Ram
4 Video

Check that each are connected properly ie, Ram Cards are in, Video is in, and Processor is connected properly, etc

Try That
