My computer turns on but displays nothing

Kostas98

After searching, I thought to change the RAM in different memory slot ( Dual Channel DDR3) and my PC started normally and display as well. So, i restarted my pc after 10 minutes and all things did well. But when i shut down and i press the power button to turn on my pc did not start. So, i made the same thing and nothing changed.

In other words, when i change the RAM in different memory slot  my pc works and my monitor is working. Without changing it in another slot, when i restart it everything goes fine, but when i shut down and press the power button to turn on, my monitor does not work and the front fan too.... why??

there is no beep or motherboard LED's ! I built my PC in 2014

CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2 Ghz
PSU: Corsair VS Series 450 WATT
MOTHERBOARD : Gigabyte GA-Z97M-D3H
RAM: Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8GB ( 2x4GB) 1600 MHz
SSHD: Seagate ST1000DX001 1TB 3.5 DESKTOP
SSD: Samsung MZ-7TE120BW 840 EVO
I do not have Graphic Card.

PC is running Windows 10 Pro Version 1903

When I change the ram I mean that i shut down PC and i unplug supply cable, all usb cables, LAN cable, and VGA cable. There is nothing connected to PC. Later, I press down the tabs at either end of the slots and i change the ram. For example by grey slot i install it to the one black slot. So when my computer turns on but Displays nothing i remove it from black slot to other grey slot. My Motherboard has 4 slots. ( black, grey, black, grey). In the end, I plug all cables and my PC and my monitor work fine.

Another worth mentioning is that sometimes my PC does not get electric power and because of this, I press supply cables like checking that are connected to motherboard and after that gets electric power. Probably my PSU has an issue? But how then works?

Do not change your ram slots. Reset CMOS

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

I reset CMOS by replacing the motherboard's CMOS Battery, but  still the issue is not solved. Probably my PSU has an issue? 

 

Thank you!

You probably thing  that PSU has an issue. Namely, what is the problem in which PSU may be a crucial factor that my computer turns on but displays nothing? I can't understand why my computer works fine when i rechange my ram in different slot....
