Purchased additional 2x8GB sticks from GSKill Aegis DDR4 to boost capacity. Installed them expecting a total of 4x8GB, but the PC failed to boot after setup. Cards were removed without saving their location, and I can't reach the boot menu or power the keyboard. Running an Asrock B450M Micro Pro with AMD Ryzen 5 1600, Zodec gaming GeForce 3050, and trying to install 4x8GB RAM via GSKill Aegis DDR4. Need advice on identifying which sticks are original and how to access BIOS or fix the keyboard issue.

Ensure stickers remain intact on RAM modules. Verify serial numbers; matching pairs should differ by ±1, meaning Stick 1 S/N:5964123190 9 and Stick 2 S/N:5964123190 8. Be aware that purchasing RAM together is often advised since manufacturers may switch suppliers or use various IC chips while maintaining the same model. Reset CMOS during reconfiguration to restart memory training. Updating BIOS can also enhance memory stability.

When you turn it on, there’s no immediate activity—no lights or fans moving. It seems the issue might be due to a disconnected power source rather than a hardware fault.

The motherboard contains memory that stores BIOS configurations. Resetting it involves removing the coin cell battery located on the board and reinstalling it.

The crowd starts to gather, and a faint beep is heard. The engine suddenly comes to life.

I removed the coin cell to reset it… but the Cmos failed. Spoiler alert.

The CMOS remained unchanged and didn't resolve the problem.
