    RAM Seating Issue

    Hey everyone, my PC wouldn’t power on this morning so I tried these three troubleshooting steps:
    1. Reseat RAM
    2. Reseat GPU
    3. Remove CMOS battery, wait 5 mins, put it back in

    After those 3 steps, the PC now powers up with fans and RGB lighting on GPU, fans, CPU cooler but not the RAM modules. Also, the PC won’t boot to BIOS and the screen isn’t picking up anything. I have attached a picture of the RAM seating configuration - the clip looks like it isn’t securing into place properly, but this was how the RAM looked before I removed it to try and reseat it. For reference, the PC has been working fine for a few months now and the RGB on the RAM was also working fine.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have so much uni due so this has happened at the worst possible time.

    Cheers

      The little latches at the end of the ram should be locked into the ram chip.
