One of those Dell 8400s that is just like computer that mostly runs a printer-faxer-scanner. The monitor is off so if I hear a FAX come in I wake the machine up to check what the fax was. 99% are junk and a few per year are useful. Anyway that computer would not wake up a few days ago. I could not get it to even load the BIOS. It just hung with the BOIS trying to load. It is 10 years out of support so I started poking around.
I finally figured out it was not happy with a memory module. It is now just a 512 MB computer but it only does one task. I have never seen a memory module just stop like that. It is on a battery backup so it was not a power surge.
