Do you think when he reseated the CPU cooler, the backplate could have adjusted to make contact with some capacitor leads or any such metal. Ive heard of people with this situation and looking on Tom's hardware I see similar situations to ops where they had reseated the CPU ect and it lead to dimm failure. In their cases they used electrical tape to insulate and reported success but with this situation I doubt the optiplex has a removable backplate

I have done some research on this topic for you and I have some questions mostly relating to the reseating of the CPU cooler. I have heard some similar instances of the CPU backplate in these older machines creating shorts which could lead to a dimm slot failure. Are you still using the stock cooler? Try to run without the cooler and check the backplate to make sure no metal is making contact with the mb. I'm sorry but if this does not work then there is a more serious problem with the mb than can be solved with advice.

Check to make sure there's no bent pins for the cpu on the mb, thermal paste where it shouldn't be and proper mounting pressure for the cooler
-
No power led at all on your case? Besides the remount of the CPU and perhaps vigorous cleaning and wiggling of the dimm slot, I believe you have a physical failure on the mb. What kind of work do you do? Perhaps in the meantime you can try and limit the amount of ram usage on your PC by cleaning it up a bit or try switching to a less heavy os and find a cheap higher GB ram stick in the meantime

Oof alright that's what I supposed after all possible troubleshooting steps I imagined, but thought it best to try lol thank you

Nah not anymore only in windows 10 for a random amount of time until disappearing. Like I can select it in diskpart for random amounts of time but I can't manage to do anything with it

I know at best a fan controller can really only control the fan curve as if all the fans were one single fan, but in my experience the cheap ones fail to accomplish that
-
I can't get it to detect on anything but my work windows 10 machine and diskpart won't do anything with it. Then about after ten minutes it disappears completely and bios won't even find it
-
It fails to recognize the drive which doesn't make allot of sense to me unless the process of reformatting was just to much for the little guy
-
Try plugging the fan controller to the CPU fan header
