Could we have your full specs?

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Reseat the RAM, and if that doesn't work, put them back in the original slots?

It's a really common issue. Something as small as a dust particle or oxidation on the contacts could prevent the RAM from working. My very first PC didn't boot after I installed a new CPU and RAM, and I was super scared that I broke it, but it turned out that I only needed to reseat the RAM.
