8200 Dimension put back original continuity chips (for memory slots)
I recently purchased 2 memory chips of 256 each for my 8200 but after I put the chips in - the computer worked the first day but then my computer froze - tech support informed me that I need non ECC memory. So I took out the ECC memory and am returning it. In the interim I am trying to put back the dummy memory chips (continuity) - does anyone know or can you direct me to a photo of what way the continuity chips are suppose to be facing because I have tried to no avail and my computer's frozen state remains .All I want to do at this point is to get back to what I had!

You are some things to try. Press F8 at boot up and before Windows starts. You will get a windows with several options, one is to start Windows in Safe Mode and you can try that to see if it will even get to safe mode. Another is the last known good configuration and you can also try that.
Memory shouldn't have caused the OS to do anything funny. Check all the internal cabling so make sure nothing was accidentally disconnected or partially disconnected while you were inside the PC.

I booted it up holding the F8 key and started it in Safe Mode and within seconds the entire screen was filled with I guess the various parts of the system the first one was:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2) 1 Windows/sytem 32
when that went away (quickly) the Windows window appeared still frozen. I had already tried the last known configuration with no luck.
