New PC won’t boot up

[Thatonedude440]

So I got a new build at micro center two days ago, got the computer build and now it won’t boot up. Fans, rgb works but no signal to monitor. At first, I took one ram stick out and tried that and that did work, pc booted up and I was able to download windows and use the computer on one stick. I then tried to mess around with some stuff to try and get the other stick of ram to work in it and no luck I made things worse. Not when I turn the computer on it doesn’t do anything with one stick or two sticks of ram, and now the red CPU light is on non stop. I tried to take the CPU out and reset it and my stupid self dropped it, and bent a few pins. Straightened the pins out and re tried to seat it and it did the same thing with the red light. So I pretty much know I have to get a new CPU, that’s ok, but I want to be able to figure out the original problem with the only one ram stick working. Before the CPU issue, I would use the same individual ram on slot 2 and try it on slot 4 and it would work fine, but with the other stick of ram it would not work on either slot 2 or 4 by installed. So that gives me the impression that that one stick of ram is bad. Thoughts ? Before the cpu issue i was playing counter strike on 140fps so everything was working perfectly fine with that one stick of ram. I’m new to computers.

I would have tried to update the BIOS while you could... but if you can't even get into BIOS now, thats unfortunate.

 

Have you tried to reset the CMOS?

Honestly I was trying to but couldn’t figure out how to update bios. I was trying and think I messed something up. I’m completely new to the PC world. And yes, I took the battery out for 15 minutes, and out a screw driver tip on jbat1. Put the battery back in and plugged the power cable back in, and it did nothing  still has the red cpu light.

I've just skimmed this through, but here is a checklist that seems great for troubleshooting this. It's often a trial and error kind of thing pinpointing the issue with hardware, takes some trial and error..
