I recently installed a new XFX Radeon RX 460 Graphics Card and then added 8 GB RAM while I was at it. At first I got a message that read, Reboot and select proper booting device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key. After several attempts at powering off and rebooting it dawned on me I had a photo disc in the disc drive. So I removed it and rebooted and this time I got a message that read, No Signal. I rebooted again and then got a message that read, Please press DEL or F2 to enter UEFI bios setting. Please help!

I have an ASUS essential series
AMD 3.50 GHz processor
8 + 8 GB RAM
 
So what happens when you reboot into the bios?

I will say that it's best to do ONE thing at a time, then test the computer to make sure it works before doing the second thing. So you could add the memory, test it, then add the card. By doing both we have no way of knowing which one caused the problem.

So boot into the bios, then I'd remove the optical drive from your boot options, then save and exit.

Unfortunately, neither DEL or F2 could get me into bios. No keys would respond. I was afraid you'd say something like that. I should have installed one at a time. This is an expensive lesson learned. Thanks for your help.
