I replaced my two 4 gig RAM sticks with two 8 gig sticks and now PC won’t boot. It restarts once then powers on and stays on. All lights in PC come on but not keyboard or mouse. Monitor says no signal.

Ive tried the following.

Reseated RAM, replaced/reseated old ram, unplugged everything from PSU, removed video card, tried on board video, jumped my CMOS, removed my cmos battery.

ONE TIME a screen showed up saying “YOUR PC FAILED TO BOOT SEVERAL TIMES” and my bios actually started. Everything seemed fine, I could see both sticks of the installed ram.

Tried to boot and failed.

Everything was fine before I installed new RAM and now PC won’t even boot with old RAM.

Specs

Windows 10
Asrocks b240 gaming k4 motherboard
i5 processor
geforce 1060 video card
2 8 gig corsair ram or
old 2 4 gig ripjaw rams

Been going at it for a week. Plz help. :(

Its a custom built PC everything is about 2 years old except for the new RAM which ive had for about 2 weeks

Yes that is the mobo im using.

The new RAM is this: https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Veng...ocphy=9015235&hvtargid=pla-489585831809&psc=1

Old Ram is this: https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-8gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820231882?item=N82E16820231882&source=googleshopping&nm_mc=knc-googleadwords-mobile&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwords-mobile-_-pla-_-memory+(desktop+memory)-_-N82E16820231882&gclid=CjwKCAiAm7OMBhAQEiwArvGi3JlkszQcB0LxeM0PjdwCcDRruITNBzvxczN7BdrXO_eHLlWCAzYtHhoCTJYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I did get pc to boot a few times after installing new ram though most times it would say no display and mouse/keybaord didn’t light up. I replaced the old ram back in and same issue.

It doesn’t boot at all now. All lights in PC come on but not mouse/keyboard/display
