Before anything, here are my current specs (without my new RAM):
CPU: Intel Pentium G4560 3.5GHz Dual-Core
GPU: GTX 1050 Ti
Motherboard: B250-HD3 ATX LGA1151
Memory: Ripjaws V series 8GB (1 stick) DDR4-2400
PSU: EVGA 500+ Bronze (I can't remember the exact make, sorry!)
Before all of this my PC ran fine, I was playing games perfectly fine, up until I brought the RAM to my room.
I recently purchased some new RAM, exact same make as my current one, bought it from the same site (Newegg), etc. It came in and I installed it, I flipped off my PSU and unplugged everything, took anti-static measures, and installed it in the second slot, (my first slot was being used by my current). I plugged everything back in and I started my computer back up, it started up my for a few seconds, shut off for a few more, than my computer was sent into a loop where it would turn on for a few seconds, then immediately turn off for less than a second and repeat.
I waited about 15 minutes to see if it was just my mobo trying to recognize the new RAM. I then took out the new RAM, doing the same uninstallation methods as before. I started my computer up again with just the old stick to see if it would start and it was still stuck in the same loop. I tried the RAM (old and new) in every slot and still the same result. I blew dust out of every slot, I made sure the RAM was down tightly and was secure multiple times. I even took the all the RAM out to see if I could just get my computer to run but still the same result. At this point I think it's just my motherboard, but I don't understand why. Everything was working just fine before I tried to put in the new RAM. I tried my best to keep static away, but maybe it still somehow fried a part? Maybe my PSU can't handle more wattage? Maybe I'm just an idiot?
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
