Shoutout to the old tech in Reno who told me to reseat the RAM before anything else
Two months back I get a no-boot ticket on a Dell OptiPlex from a small insurance office, and I'm already planning a board swap in my head. The retired tech who trained me at my first shop always said check the cheap stuff first, so I pulled both sticks and put them back in. Machine posted on the first try, and it turned out one stick had walked loose from a desk bump. I still feel dumb about how fast I was ready to order parts. What's the one step you always do first, even when you're sure it's something bigger?
