Hi guys

I was trying to install ram into my motherboard and noticed a burning smell after doing so, so now my pc won’t turn on, is it my power supply or motherboard that’s dead? Just replaced the power supply a few months ago

If it looks like the one on the image you posted, then you probably just connected it incorrectly (not fully). But in the model you indicated, "pc3-10600s-9-10-b0" letter "S" after 10600 indicates SODIMM module, not a regular one. Can you post the actual picture of RAM modules? That would clear up things a bit.

Try clearing cmos, unplug PC from wall with switch switched to on, remove shiny battery, press and hold power button for 30s~, plug back battery, then plug back pc to wall and try to power it up, the PC should power up regardless of the ram is it into the slot or not, first try without ram, then try ram into slot that wasnt that ram into it.

Also check for Ram slot pins if they are blacked out.

There’s no power going to it all, have tried leaving it off for a while then trying again with no luck, should the power supply work even if the motherboard doesn’t?
