I recently tried to replace the RAM in my computer. After moving my graphics card out the way, I replaced 4 RAM sticks and inserted new ones and placed the GPU back.

When I pressed the power button, my computer did not respond in any way, not even a beep or a spinning fan. My computer was equally unresponsive when I pressed the lit up start button. There was no error code of any kind, just nothing.

What's wrong with my computer?

My motherboard is an Asus Rampage V

Try opulling the DRAM, unplug the rig, reset CMOS, install the DRAM, reseat the GPU, make sure the GPU power is properly plugged in , plug in and give it a try

maybe maybe not. First thing I would do is reseat all your add-in cards, ram and PSU connections. If that does not fix the boot up issues the next thing I would do is try pulling your motherboard and other components from the case and doing a bare bones build on static paper or a hard non-conductive surface like cardboard or wood. If your system still does not boot after that there is a chance when you installed the ram/ uninstalled reinstalled your GPU your fried your motherboard with a static discharge. The amount of static needed to kill a component, you won't even feel leave your hand.
