Hi, 

so yesterday I posted a topic on here about how my PC won't start and how it would flicker once when i pressed the on button.

At first i thought it was the Power supply, and people said it probably wasn't, i thought it was the power switch button on the motherboard, i don't think its that too. Lastly they told me to take out my CMOS battery and wait 5 minutes and place it back in and first it worked, then today my PC wouldn't start again so i did it and i won't work so i don't know what to do now.

ANY help would be very amazing! Thank you so much!

 

Specs: 

i5-4460

MSI GTX 960 4G

ASRock Z97 anniversary ATX 

1TB Seagate HDD

EVGA 500B Bronze

8G G.Skill RAM

try removing all the things plugged in the front and rear io

if it doesnt boot

try using only one stick of ram if you have more than one, try different channels too

thank you very much! changed the ram channel and only used 1 stick.

so what i think it is, i think its the ram, i just remembered that this happened before when i first built my computer, like 5 days ago. I used 2 sticks didn't work, took one out, worked and now changed the channels and it worked so, i dunno. Should i under clock my RAM so the both sticks can work, or what do you think?
