Nope. It timed out or something. Back to the way it was.

Could also be bad memory ? How many memory sticks is there? Maybe try pulling out all memory sticks and then insert one by one and see how that goes ?

So it has decided to work kind of. I get a warning say the cpu or memory has been changed. Do I just use default settings?

Matt, have you tried disconnecting the battery for 24hrs or cleaning the maf sensor??????

If your PC has more than one memory chip, I would taking all bit one out and see if it boots, if not remove and try another.....

But hey I know nothing and would of gone with your first option and burnt it

Ok. On the motherboard there should be 4 slots. Yellow in the motherboard picture below. In those slots you should have memory ticks. I'm only guessing you have 2. (you could have 1 or 4 or 3)but most commonly 2 as I don't know how much memory you have.

They should look like the green sticks in the other picture.

Pull the sticks out by unlatched the tabs on the side, and pull all sticks out. Then insert one stick and try and PC, if it fails, take that stick out and try the other, if it fails as well , well then highly unlikely it is the memory sticks rooted. But at least that is an easy elimination.

Beat me to it !

Yeah mine look a little flasher than that. Removing the second one has resulted in the cpu fan ramping up

But still nothing.

Here is hoping you had the PC off when taking the sticks out lol. Or you mean it span quicker without the "said" stick ?
