pretty much yes

Though I'm not convinced yours is actually broken

Have you tried putting everything back together how it was before you started messing around to see if it works then? old gfx card etc?

ok im guessingn its the hdd that causing this problem, i tried a HDD from an old pc,,,,

itscame to a blue windows screen, but said
something about stoped due to a differant hdd which may basically break my pc....

its kinda old and its only 40gb so maybe thats why, but i didnt get all these error messages on start up,,,

pcs = stress

Worth buying a brand new one or will used be better due to the fact its already set up...

that hdd will do you fine. Maxtor's a very good.

And yes it's ok to handle RAM with your hands. How else do you propose getting them into your system?

Just hold them around the edges and try not to touch the chips. Not the end of the world if you do though.
