trying to help you here.
because 1 of them could be causing the problem! . if you want to ASSUME all your memory modules are not at fault,which its entirely possible they may not be, you'll never fix anything. this is a step by step process, eliminating pieces of hardware that are possible culprits for your problem.
so, if it still doesn't work after trying 1 stick of memory, ONE AT A TIME, then you move on to the next step, probably your PSU. it could even be that your video card simply died, and switching to the onboard video doesn't work because the BIOS won't "auto" detect a device because you have the BIOS set for a expansion video card, which is why clearing the CMOS or resetting the BIOS will help.
you don't know what a BIOS reset is? look it up and do it.
