I experienced an electrical issue with my RAM after installing it. Once I powered it on, everything seemed normal until I launched Roblox, which caused a blue screen. Now the system won't show any display at all, not even the boot or BIOS menu. I'm unsure if I need to seek help from a PC specialist, but I'd appreciate any suggestions or ideas you might have.

Inspect the RAM slot on the motherboard. If it's still covered by warranty, consider requesting a refund or replacement.

Explaining "Electrical Fire" involves checking whether your RAM has actually caught fire. If so, it’s likely your entire PC could be damaged. But if you're cautious, consider replacing the RAM instead. You might ask a friend to lend you a stick from their system. Alternatively, pursuing a motherboard warranty could be a good next step. Also, inspect your computer closely for any signs of damage like scorch marks, which can help determine the severity.

I experienced a single fire incident on a motherboard using AT power supplies. During a connection mistake, a spark jumped from the top of a capacitor, and the motherboard stopped working afterward.

It seems your entire PC didn’t catch fire—good news! It might have been a RAM issue or a potential short circuit with the GPU. I wasn’t sure if it would affect the graphics card directly.

Also didn't notice any scorch marks, and it smelled like an electrical fire once I turned it on.
