I've tried to reseat the ram, reset/clear my cmos use one stick, use one stick in a different slot and even trying to use my old ram to see if the new ram was faulty and I still get a black screen, nothings working. I tried checking my gpu, cpu and everything else and all cords are properly connected and seated but I still get a black screen idk what to do ;-;.

My specs
Motherboard-Msi Z370 Gaming Carbon Pro AC Mini Itx
GPU-1060 6GB
CPU-I5-8400
Old Ram-Patriot 8GB 2x 4GB
New Ram-RipJaws 16gb 2x 8GB

Did you press in ram properly? Example video of what i mean, from 1:15 and then pushes down more at 1:20. Dimm slot clips should click into the notches on both sides of ram.


You did turn off power supply and disconnect power cable and leave sit for a bit for power to drain before working on pc?

Yeah I made sure to turn off the PC fully and hold the power button after to clear the capacitors and the ram is in the slots correctly

There any sign of power? Leds, fans etc?

If you removed video cable before working on it did you put it back to the correct port? Not motherboard video port?

There's not a lot that can go wrong simply installing ram so trying to think of simple things.

How would you fix post failing in bios? There's not. It's hardware self check, if something isn't right the system stops powering up.

Debug led remains on ram. Now you say ram is fully seated, ok then, but have you done anything else? Reinstall cpu?. Bent pins if so. There's more to this situation you aren't saying, installing different set of ram doesn't, all of a sudden, cause problems like this.
