So, yesterday i installed i new gpu (gtx 1660 ti) into my old pc until i wait for rest of the new pc to come. Old pc specs (fx 6300, 8gb ram ddr3).
Everything worked normal, i played some games, tested the gpu. The next morning (today) pc wont boot, wont show post screen. I assumed that gpu is the problem. Changed to my old gpu, same result. I checked everything, cleaned it, reseat the cables. Turns out ram is the problem. Changed ram from my gf's pc, and it boots to mb logo and bios. My question is, how can ram fail like that? Because everything worked normal yesterday. Is it ram or it can be something else?
Do you think PSU failed with power delivery, and somehow burned my RAM?
Because PC was working, i played games (apex legends) for 2 hours maybe. Restarted my pc 2-3 times because of the new drivers for the GTX1660ti.
Im confused because what is the coincidence of putting a new gpu and the next morning RAM fails.

 

Current PC specs:
MB: Gigabyte 78LMT-S2 
CPU: Amd Fx-6300
RAM: Crucial 8GB DDR3 (the one that failed)
GPU: GTX750ti (old one) and GTX1660ti (one that i installed)
PSU: LC-Power LC600H-12 V2.31 600w

Does the 'broken' RAM work in the other PC?
