I shut down my pc and forgot to unplug it and i took out one of my RAM sticks and since doing that my pc won't boot even after putting it back. When i power it on everything is on and the fans are working but the pc won't boot up and after a minute or so the power supply's fan start making a very loud noise and seems like it's gonna blow up so i just unplugged the pc . Can i fix this? If not how much would it cost me ?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

I would try and have rams on the 2nd and 4th slots, if you count from the left. You might want to see if clearing the CMOS helps. The PSU in your build looks subpar. It also looks like a prebuilt.

If it's a prebuilt, please pass on the make and model of the prebuilt and it's SKU. If the system is built with off the shelf parts, please list the specs to the build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model.
