No display output after RAM upgrade

This is very unlikely, since the system will just default it to running at a slower speed if necessary. The BIOS would have had to have been written terribly in order for this to be possible, and while I don't have high expectations for how well a Lenovo BIOS will be written, it's still high than that.

This is slightly more likely. Without going too much into detail, there's a couple dozen different memory ICs that any given memory stick can use, and each one needs a specific set of parameters to work that are figured out during memory training. It's possible that Lenovo didn't bother optimizing their BIOS for the ICs that are present on the new sticks that you're using when compared to the old kits. Can you maybe include photos of each of the two kits so that we can compare them, since with Corsair kits it's usually possible to decode what memory IC it has from the label, and with SK Hynix you can usually decode it from the model number or just reading it off the memory packages themselves.
