Your computer is showing signs of overheating and power issues after the RAM upgrade. The GPU, fans, keyboard, mouse, and headset are all active, but the screen remains off. Check the power supply, ensure proper connections, and verify the GPU is functioning. If problems persist, consider resetting the system or consulting a technician.

did you notice a click when you inserted the RAM? if not, i’d reinsert it and double-check your press—make sure you’re applying enough force so it clicks properly, as it can feel like you’re pushing too hard.

I can attempt it once more, but I’m confident I did it correctly.

Have you tried clearing the CMOS yet? Also, what is your RAM type and platform—DDR4, DDR5, AM5?

I'm truly sorry, but it only worked on the first try now that it functions properly. Thank you for your assistance.
