The majority of new-gen cards have to have an extra power source other than what is powered by your PCI-X or AGP slot. I'm guessing he forgot to plug in a molex connector from the PSU to the vid card.

Yup, when you put it back in, you should hear a big clicking sound.  Almost sounds like it broke, but it didn't.

balth meant to say the pci-x ? 16 slot only supplies 75w and most new gen cards need 100 to 375 to work :) so playing a high end game will spin that meter faster than a dryer or AC :D

If you want to be sure that it is your RAM you should download memtest and run it for a couple of hours. Yes, just a few minutes isn't enough to be sure that your RAM is right.

So next time you blaim the ram stick itself run that program.
