This is my second build and I'm at a loss as to what steps I should take.
Here's the problem:
I installed all the components and had initial problems with the motherboard not accepting two ram sticks. I removed one and everything worked fine. I attempted to try and see if my new ram sticks were faulty by using two others, the same problem occurred; with two I wasn't able to get to the bios.
After switching back to one of the new ram sticks I am unable to even get the pC to turn on. I have a green light for the power on the mobo but that's it.
I've tested the PSU, the GPU and the RAM. I've also tried to run with only the CPU and sound/power connectors but the same problem arises.
I'm thinking I might have damaged my motherboard somehow when switching out the ram but i'm not sure. Is there anything else I could try to identify the problem?
Thanks for any help.
