Purchased a New Predator N50-600 i7

Purchased a New Predator N50-600 i7 2 days ago. Worked fine the first day when I set everything up. Then yesterday morning went to start it up and the white light on top of On / Off switch just kept flashing and the PC wouldn't boot up. Was almost ready to return it to the store where I bought it but first I decided to take the side panel off to have a look to see why it wasn't booting.

Found the problem. The left hand stick of ram was not seated firmly into it's slot. As soon as I re-seated it the PC booted up. problem solved.

Wow, that's unusual. Normally if a RAM stick is loose it won't start at all, with the one long beep complaining about it. It must have been seated just enough to work, then jostled just enough after to fail. Good catch!
