That sucks. I wish I could help, but I've never heard of or seen such a problem. Hope you can get it fixed.
Removed a RAM stick, seems to be working now. Hopefully it's the RAM and not the RAM slot itself. I'll test that eventually.
Happy new year, folks. I'm going to kick back and enjoy the rest of my night now. Don't drink and drive.
Kinda accidentally discharged a laptop battery to 3.8v. I think it's done for. Oh well, not like I needed it.
