My system is refusing to boot into Windows, or even boot into the BIOS. I updated my BIOS just yesterday and I had seemed to fix my constant crashing and my computers inability to run dual channel, but I tried booting it up this morning and it refused to boot. I moved the RAM into single-channel configuration, and it still wouldn't boot. Even booting with a single stick wouldn't work. Everything was working just fine after a BIOS update last night.

I have tried the following:

-reseating the 24-pin motherboard connector

-reseating the 8-pin CPU power connector

-reseating the power cord going to the back of the PSU

-running a single stick of memory in slot 0

-running the RAM in single-channel

 

No power is supplied to the keyboard or mouse when it fails to boot.

 

A new 16GB kit of RAM is coming in for me today. If that doesn't work, what should I try next?

It could be any component, you should ask someone for spare parts to test everything. If your motherboard has posting lights, use that to your advantage.
