Weird P4C800-E

[Sem82]

I have a weird P4C800-E problem
I changed the ram and ever since my system wont post if the tower is standing upright
If I but it down on its side the system posts fine
I changed the ram back to the original and it still happens
I don?t know why its happening I know I didn?t damage the board while changing the memory
What do you think is causing this?
I am considering dumping this POS board for a IC7-G

Thanks for anyhelp

Grounding problem maybe?

yeah, guy brought in a system with the same problem last week... weird as hell.. but after thinking about it for 2 mins i came to that conclusion too. that's what it was.

try putting it on it's side, and then lifting it upright as it is on, and see what happens... the system i had would shut off.. a good indication of the problem!
