Decided to go run to Fry's and get the mem exchanged.
Called ahead, put a set on hold under my name, got there, and they said they had just sold the last set, the one that was under my name.

I wasn't exactly happy.
Came back home with the bad mem, and decided I would run the memtest again, as I clicked the button, nothing.

Strange, clicked it again (button to power up), nothing, nada. Not even a fan moves.

So I guess this means my power supply just went out, I isolated everything, took everything out, mobo, etc, put it on a couple antistatic bags on top of my case, with only power cord, tried powering it up, nada.

My dad doesn't think it's PSU, but I pretty much just proved it is, unless the mobo isn't taking power.

Which I then took my old E8500 combo, tried to power it up, nothing,.
I redid all the front panel pins, etc.

Hoping to pick up a higher end power supply later today, but my dad will probably be getting another budget case for my old E8500 (for my mom), as it won't have anything that will powerhog the PSU, and maybe, just maybe, a new, better, name branded, PSU for me. yippee.
