Hello,

I recently received an Acer Aspire 8942G with an i7 as a gift. The only problem is that there’s no screen and no hard drive (not too serious yet), but there’s no RAM, and before investing in a RAM stick which isn’t exactly cheap, I’d like to know if there’s a way to check if the PC works before investing in a RAM stick.

Configuration: Core 2 Duo E4600 or i7, 8GB DDR2, FirePro V4900, Google Chrome, 1.5TB, Windows 7.

Hi

One thing is for sure, without RAM it will NEVER work.

Yes, but I have a friend who tried it with RAM that is not suitable, and the PC starts, we manage to boot from an XP installation CD, but then it displays a blue screen, and we don’t know if it's due to the incompatible RAM or if the motherboard is damaged.

Well, you need to check the blue screen code, I imagine it's because you're trying to install XP on a laptop with a SATA hard drive => 0x0000007B...
