PC details available at the provided link. Earlier attempts to install RAM failed, but resetting CMOS helped. After replacing the RAM, it worked. For your questions: 1) In BIOS, ram settings refer to memory configuration, not CMOS. 2) If you replace the old stick and it doesn’t boot, reinstalling it should restore functionality.

Ensure the device is disconnected from the power source before attempting CMOS removal. Allow at least 10 minutes after removing the CMOS battery, then press the power button several times to help discharge any residual charge. When you mention replacing RAM, specify the exact kit you used—whether it was a generic 8GB stick or a precise match, or if you swapped both with a 2x8/16 configuration. Also clarify the motherboard model included in the prebuilt system.

I'm checking if removing the old RAM, resetting the CMOS, and installing the new one would work. No need to boot yet—just see if everything boots normally after the swap.

It shouldn't create any problems unless the motherboard is defective.

Also, can we find a method to verify if your RAM remains functional without it being charged or damaged due to static?

It seems the best approach would be to run it in a verified build that matches the model's RAM specifications.

Let's review the steps carefully.
Should I replace the old CMOS with a new one and reset it?
Place the new CMOS in, wait 10 minutes.
After that, insert the RAM and then set the CMOS again.
Or should I remove the old CMOS, wait 10 minutes, then put the new CMOS in and also install the RAM?
