Quote me next time, I almost missed your reply.

 

what exactly did you do? did you only install RAM and touch nothing else?

what happens if you undo the upgrade?

Damn that's like a double fuckup.

you should never remove or attach anything that's not hot swappable while your PC is running. DRAM is definitely not hot swappable, trying to put in more RAM while your PC was on probably messed it up. the fact that it was DDR3 probably doesn't matter, since it doesn't fit in the slot anyway, so no more damage can be done.

 

have you tried clearing CMOS? Have you considered that maybe the slot (or channel) that you tried to put the RAM into might be dead? < Try to boot with only one stick of RAM in a different slot that has a different color than the one you tried to mess with.

You can clear CMOS by either taking out the silver nickel-sized battery in your motherboard and leaving it out for 10 minutes, or moving a jumper on your motherboard over. try the battery first, since I can't tell you where the jumper is. (during the wait, maybe you can look in the motherboard manual for where this jumper is on your particular board).

 

do you only have 2 slots? what motherboard/CPU do you have.

Quote me next time.

 

if you only have two, and neither of them work, there's a high likelihood that your motherboard is dead.

ideally, you could verify with another set of hardware (try your DDR4 in a confirmed working board, and then try your board with a confirmed working CPU and RAM)

so my cpu is an AMDA12 9800 my mother board is a A320M-HDV
