So I just got a PC delivered after a few weeks of waiting (its an international shipment) and when I held the box, I heard some rattling.
When I look inside (without opening the case) I saw the ram sticks are both disconnected and just laying around.
I opened the case, plugged them in (its an ITX board with 2 slots, so there are no mistakes in plugging them in), I powered it and all the fans are spinning (gpu fan, cpu cooling fan, PSU fan, and another exhaust fan connected to the MOBO) but nothing happens.
My monitor is plugged into the GPU, I tried using 1 ram stick at a time at different slots, tried it with both of the sticks, I tried to replug all of the power cables going from the psu to different components I tried reseating the GPU
But no luck with all options.
What could it be? is there a chance the motherboard is dead, perhaps the sticks knocked off a capacitor or something from the motherboard?
I will try my friend's ram in a few days, and I will try my ram in his PC.
All repair stores are closed for some time so I can only troubleshoot by myself.
Can someone help me identify the problem?
