That proves that owner operators aren't technicians, as if we didn't already know that.

It's puzzling because RAM is a gold-on-gold contact, in a tightly fitted clamping mechanism. Gold, being non-oxidizing, isn't likely under any computer's lifetime to have an issue with seating. So...

I've witnessed problems with gold-on-gold contact, and a few weeks ago at CircuitNet.com there was an article about corrosion on gold-plated circuit boards. Also it seems that films can form on...

I know it can happen, but it's really, really rare. I was wondering what the cause is. I'm not fond of "just because" arguments. Curiosity and all. :D

The odds that the contacts on the RAM, which has likely never been removed, have become corroded is virtually nil. If a RAM problem is suspected, it would make far more sense to try another stick of...

It's simple.
More than 50% of the time, even with new machines, when a puter turns on, makes all the noises but gives no image, it's just the ram that needs to be reseated and or cleaned.

With no BSOD it is most likely heat or power related. You don't mention what PSU you have, but I'd hope it's a decent one with SLI 9800GTs.

Try removing the ram, cleaning it/them with contact cleaner or alcohol, then reinstalling.
If that doesn't work, then something more serious is going on.

I'm not so convinced about it being heat, as heat usually just shuts the machine down, as opposed to freezing up.
You need only download coretemp or CPUid's hardware monitor, to check your temps....
