So last night i turn on my pc, it worked' like normal, then i decided to shut it down and flip my cpu fan because i had a hunch that pushing air through my cpu would result in better cooling. SO after i did that i went to startup my pc andi got no display, but no beep codes either. I looked up this problem on many forums and they all said to try removing a stick of RAm and reset the BIOS, so resetting the bios didnt work for me, but removing a RAM module did it (doesn't matter slot i use). Why would it do this? I'd really like to have 8gbs back instead of 4.

Give us your specs.

You could be using a m-atx (or a crummy atx) motherboard that only supports 4GB of RAM max (I have an LGA775 m-atx motherboard like that), and if you add >4GB of ram, it just doesn't work.
