Serious Problems in My Computer RAM

I have very serious problems in my computer. It was working fine for three years.
But eight months ago I took out the internal hard disk to transfer some data from my friend's computer and then I put it back into my computer.On that day my computer was working fine, but then a problem occurred. Whenever I switch on my UPS, the computer automatically switches on, but there is no display on my monitor. When I tapped my computer cabinet on the sides and then retried, it worked. Also when I am working on my computer it automatically hangs and the same problem occurs.

Then I tap my computer again and it works. After that, other problems have just started occurring. Sometimes a blue screen comes up for less than a second and my computer restarts. I showed my system to many engineers and they said that the RAM is bad. I changed to 1 GB RAM, and then someone else said the SMPS was defective. I changed that and all the data cables too, but the problem still persists. Please Dr CHIP, help me solve this problem. I am very frustrated. You are my only hope. My computer configuration is: Intel D82865GBF motherboard, 1 GB RAM, 40 GB Samsung hard disk, 80 GB Seagate external hard disk, Sony DVD writer, Samsung DVD/CD-RW Combo drive, and D-Link 56K internal fax modem.

Your computer problem is strange but very common. You have changed the SMPS and RAM as well as all the cables inside the cabinet. So the only problem areas remaining are the motherboard and hard drive. Please try cleaning all the connectors, slots and components (carefully) using a soft brush. Remove the CPU fan and wipe off the old CPU thermal grease. Then apply some new thermal grease and remount the fan. Also clean the CPU fan properly before remounting it. Check if the problem goes away. Check if all the cables to and from the motherboard and all the internal peripherals including the hard drive and optical drives are firmly fitted and not loose in any way, especially the SATA cable to the hard drive. A SATA cable that is not properly connected could indirectly be triggering the problem. Change the cable if needed.

Finally if everything is fine and the problem still occurs, try using the entire rig without the cabinet. Carefully unscrew the motherboard, power supply and hard drive and assemble them on a table. Place some antistatic foam between the motherboard and the table. If the problem is solved, your cabinet is the issue. Check for loose screws and uneven surfaces inside the cabinet which may cause shorting problems. Clean the cabinet thoroughly too. If the problem still persists, then try reinstalling the operating system. Finding a fault in such scenarios can be quite painful and time-consuming. Be patient and you will get to the root of the problem.
