Computer Turns On But Won't Display

I have an Acer Predator G3620 - UR308 since 2012, and now it won't display anything. I have tried everything at this point. So I was wondering if you guys could help me diagnose the problem.

Heres the stuff I have tried:

I have tried replacing my power supply with a new one, which didn't work.
I reseated everything and still won't work.
I replaced the bios chip, didn't work.
Drained all the power via power button, didn't work.
I know the motherboard isn't dead, because when I take out the RAM, it starts beeping.

IMPORTANT: There have been times when I would play around with the inside the components and rarely it would beep then turn on, however it would be very slow. This happened a few times which took so long, however I checked how much ram was detected and it only showed 4gb, but I have 12gb installed, so I feel the problem is the RAM. Also when I went to open a game the computer shut off.

It can't be the motherboard because it beeps whenever I take the ram out right? I know it's not the cpu and graphics card.
So it has to be the RAM right?

Some notes: whenever I do turn it on the hdd light doesn't show, but all the fans spins, however doesn't display.

Hypothesis: I assume that the ram is dead or is barely making it, because I have an old 500w power supply which diminished in voltage over the years, so maybe the power supply killed the ram? Does it sound like a RAM problem?

Specs:
I7-3770
12gb of ddr3 ram (Kingston)
Gtx 670

Thanks for taking the time to read!
 
Solution
Its unlikely that all sticks would die at once so unless you havent already try all the slots with each stick until it starts working. If it doesnt ....then u might have a faulty memory controller.
