Hey guys...I got some memory that wasn't advertised to be compatible with my 440 BX MB (I think it's the Asus BH6). I got it cheap, and I figured if it didn't work I would sell it, no big deal. Well, I tried it in my machine today. The MB didn't post. OK, I guess I'll just sell the RAM. However, now my MB won't post AT ALL! With the old RAM, without any RAM at all, it won't post. The cpu cooling fan doesn't come on either. It's very dead...:/ I mean, no beeps, no nothin. The peripherals come on, and my PCI ethernet card is getting power, therefore it's not the PS. So is it possible that using the wrong RAM could actually fry my motherboard?!?! That seems kind of absurd to me...
