I reviewed the related information and followed the instructions. The statement about silence suggesting a RAM failure seems connected, but it’s unclear whether the problem lies with the RAM or the PSU.
Have you attempted using just one RAM stick at once? It might also stem from an issue with the power button on the case—perhaps it's stuck and the computer never powers on. Try unplugging the front panel cables and turn on the PC by connecting the power pins to a conductive object such as a screwdriver. Also, keep in mind that a single grain of rice is insufficient.
Yes, I tested each stick separately. It seems the repair technician also tried other RAM sticks.
I just tried this now, but unfortunately there was no change—no debug beeps after the LEDs stopped working.
I used a larger size than expected; I thought that referred to its shape. It was more like a 'pea-sized' amount in a short line. Every time I took off the cooler, the CPU was completely covered.
By source I was asking about the origin of the thermal paste.
The concern is whether the paste could be outdated, faulty, or even fake.
It's common for makers to simply include generic or recognized brands without checking their specifications, suitability, or quality.
Those who use thermal paste often detect something unusual when the tube or applicator is opened.
Much like people would spot an issue with a fresh but worn-out paint can.
With poor-quality thermal paste, even careful application will not succeed.
I understand. It's brand new, yet purchased from Amazon, which means counterfeiting is a possibility. The repair technician replaced the CPU and experimented with various settings, so I believe the issue is likely hardware-related.
