Had a client's PC in Austin that would only POST after I tapped the RAM with a screwdriver handle

It was a weird grounding issue with the DIMM slot, fixed it by reseating the CPU cooler bracket. Has anyone else seen a physical tap fix a boot loop?

Honestly, that "percussive maintenance" thing reminds me of a forum post about fixing a loose GPU with a textbook.

Classic percussive maintenance. Seen it work on old hard drives too.
