Now you must begin the grim task, of
testing one DIMM at a time. Try placing the
DIMM in an unused slot. Don't forget to power
off and wait at least 30 seconds, before moving
them around.

If one DIMM doesn't work, try the next DIMM by itself.

It helps to have an antistatic bag for storage
of any DIMMs not currently being tested.

This is why, for machines moved by couriers, you
*always* take the side off and carefully inspect
the machine for loose hardware. It was probably on
an angle like that when you got it.

If it was seated and latched, your knee couldn't do that.
