Hi,
I built a PC recently and it was working fine for a bit, then started blue screening a lot with a memory management issue. My dad removed the RAM sticks and then put them back in (I'm not sure why, I wasn't around). Since he did that, there is no display at all (the PC turns on as normal). I ordered replacement RAM and hoped that would solve the issue but it didn't. We've tried the PC with a different gpu in it, different RAM, one RAM stick at a time, tried the display cable on another machine, and tried removing the cmos battery for a while to reset the motherboard. Is it likely that my dad damaged the motherboard when he removed the RAM? Or could it be something else?
Specs are:
mobo - Asus Prime B450m-k
cpu - Ryzen 7 2600
ram - Corsair vengeance 16gb ddr4, replaced with hyperX with the same capacity
gpu - tried with gtx1050 and an old 750
To sum up, PC worked completely fine for a short while, before the blue screens would come up every time we tried to open up a game in steam (it wouldn't happen when the PC was left idle), and only since the ram was removed and returned to the PC did the display completely stop working
