Was on my pc last night and was about to get off for the night when i accidentally put my pc on sleep. I turned it back on to shut it off, and the computer would freeze at the BIOS screen. I am using two sticks of g. Skill ripjaw 4gb. I started pulling sticks of RAM out and restarting, and after pulling one stick out I was able to get past the BIOS screen. However, I was able to get past the BIOS screen with either stick, just not both at the same time. Now, all of a sudden my keyboard turns on but pressing any key appears to do nothing. Any ideas as to what the issue could be?

Does the computer work with one stick of RAM? Can you get into Windows (operating system)?

If not it's probably a power supply or motherboard issue. Check your motherboard for swollen or leaking capacitors. If there are leaking capacitors don't touch them as the fluid is toxic.
