The DRAM voltage PC is not posting.
I experimented with RAM speeds and believed adjusting the voltage might improve performance. After saving, the PC restarted but wouldn't post. I looked for help and found advice to remove the CMOS battery, unplug the power cable, take out the GPU (since it was blocking), disconnect the battery, wait five minutes, then reinstall everything. Despite doing this, the PC still couldn't post—fans were spinning and lights were on. I should have avoided changing the voltage, please give me better guidance. Thank you.
Removing the CMOS battery should have restored the BIOS to its default settings. It's possible another issue is at play.
What are your system specifications and what voltages were used for the memory?
Double-check everything again, ensuring the power and video cables are connected properly to the graphics card. Try installing one stick of RAM in the designated single-slot, typically the second slot from the CPU.
Confirm the CMOS battery was reinstalled correctly—usually with the positive side up. Also verify that the graphics card is securely seated.

I attempted to repeat the process and verified the GPU is fully seated. I also tried using a single stick of RAM, but it didn't work. The CMOS battery's positive terminal is facing upward.
1.3V was added, but it was actually 1.250V. I should have done more research beforehand.
Well 1.3v wouldn't have caused any damage. DDR4 ratings are designed for 1.35v and can handle up to 1.5v, though it's not recommended. Still, the CPU's memory controller might not last long, but it wouldn't be an immediate failure. Only by checking another unit can we confirm if the issue is related to the CPU.
