It's getting strange. This now is typed on the new (effected) system again. I hit the little button in the right top corner, MemCheck!, a function that checks RAM bars compatability and functionality. The system shut down, booted again - and the screen sprang to live and sending me to the BIOS. I saved and closed the BIOS, and it send me to Windows, and here I am.

I have not even touched the RAM bars, I am always afraid about static electricity with those buggars.

Can dust cause some kind of temporary shortcuts on the board? I keep it clean, using pressured air, on the fans a little brush with natural hair and - never touching components - a vacuum cleaner.

I shut down now the system. If I do not come back, you know that rebooting did not work as hoped for. I will then switch in the old PC tomorrow again to read any possible answers.
