Today I had received new ram. I had added the new ram to the spare two slots not realising that isn’t a good idea (old and new ram). Now the pc wouldn’t boot. I tried to reinstall the old RAM and it still won’t work. I had removed the CMOS battery and put it back and that also didn’t help. What...

Hi guys, This is my first build, and I apologize in advance for anything dumb I might say… also, sorry for the length! I am new and I’m not sure which details are relevant. So the main issue is only the motherboard lights seem to work. Even the case fans directly connected to the PSU are not...
