[FTBKSR12]

It might be posting just not with a visible monitor.  Or it might not actually be posting. Hard to know from here. If it IS posting just not with video there’s a problem in the video chain (video card, cable, monitor) if it’s actually not posting it would be in the computation chain (more or less everything else) one step would be to determine which it is.  A different OS might be able to tell you something so off a live a Linux liveCd key would tell you something if it worked reliably. It wouldn’t say much if it didn’t though.

I reset the bios settings and reinstalled the ram. One of the ram sticks was a bit loose. That fixed it. Thanks for the help!

Lol first moves are always “is it plugged in” followed by “have you turned it off and on”. I Skipped those. “Is it plugged in” FTW.
