So last night. I put new ddr4 in my old pc
Now it doesn't display a picture
No signal.
I reverted back to the original ddr3 ram it came with
Reset CMOS.
Still no picture.
I tried vga. And hdmi.
Tried 2 different monitors
No success.

Any suggestions?
 
Are you sure you're putting it in the right way? And are you sure the slots are clicking around the RAM when you have it in? RAM can sometimes be tricky. Use more force than you think you should and make sure it's in all the way. Also, make sure that you're putting the RAM in the correct slots first. Refer to your motherboard manual to see which are the right slots to put the RAM into first.
 


I didn't even think about this but he's 100% right. You're gonna have to upgrade your motherboard if you want to use DDR4 RAM
 


Before he buys a new motherboard maybe we could help him better if:

We had his current system specs.
We knew what his goals were?
 
I've since removed the DDR4 RAM.
I've placed back everything to its original settings in the PC.

My only goal is to have signal between my monitor and my PC.
Here are the specs:
( I'm looking on the inside to find out these details)

Phemom II Duel
DDR3 1800
Support 8-core CPU
HT3.0
ASRock RoHS

It is a cyberpower PC, I got it on an Amazon Deal a long time ago and I can't remember the credentials for the account I used for purchase.
