Ram related boot problem (usual culprit)

 

Was in bios graciously perusing my CPU voltage when it appeared too high for its lifespan rating. I lowered it back down to 1.3500 volts and decided to lower my ram mhz from 3600 to 3200 (negligible speed difference and these other chips are far better). I inserted two 16 gb Vengeance chips (cmk16gx4m2b3200c16) with correct orientation in B1 and B2. This is in a prime b550 plus ac-hes. I am unable to get to boot. Instinctively, I reset the CMOS the battery way. This still did not bring it to boot so I mix and matched, reset CMOS again, and eventually went back to the original configuration of ram chips (before I decided to mess around with my bios). However, this still did not work. I am 99% certain I didn't shit on my baseboard because it would have a red led or beep code.

 

Note: Strangely, whenever I plug my mouse-usb (halfway) into the rear panel, it powers on.

 

I have ensured the ram slots are ok as well.

 

If it is useful, the board I am using is a prime B550 ac-hes.
