What exactly are you trying to say here? From what I gather you suspect
a hardware failure of some kind and you are trying to nail down which
component.
First off it's best to test the components together. Just because a
stick of RAM works in one computer doesn't mean it will work in another.
Second what is the problem? Will the computer not post? Can't it boot?
Does it run for a bit and crash? Explain the symptoms.
