No Output Device

Hi, I've recently upgraded the RAM on my Computer, turned the machine on and
everything seemed fine, until I noticed that there was "No Output Device
installed".
I've noticed many topics about this subject but all seem to be occurring
after installing Vista not RAM, any ideas?

Well, the prime suspect is the Ram
Memtest86.com - Memory Diagnostic: http://www.memtest86.com/
or there is always the technique of using half the ram at a time to test.

Still not working, is this a common problem?

Tom,
Just guessing here does that msg really say "no audio output device
installed".

Is it possible that in the process of upgrading the ram that you knocked a
wire loose or knocked a card loose or changed a non-ram related bios
setting:?

In any case, Win+R | DevMgmt.msc to run device manager and then check the
devices for yellow and/or red icons.

Thanks for the reply Karl. Yes, it does say "no audio output device is
installed".

I made sure I was careful when upgrading the RAM, but if something was
knocked, how would I know? Everything that was touched seemed fixed and not
loose at all.

Also, I searched the Device Manager and no icons were red or yellow. I
noticed on the Sound, Video and Game controllers" there is only "ASUSTek
Tiger Capture Device", usually the Realtek HD Audio is there too.
