I just got a new set of RAM (Corsair Vengeance RGB 2x16GB, 6400Mhz, DDR5) to replace my old stick (TeamGroup TForce Vulcan 1x16GB, 6000Mhz) Also my motherboard is an ASUS Prime Z790-P WiFi.
After I put one stick of my new ram in, everything lit up just fine, but the power button was blinking and nothing came through to my monitor. I've tried to put my old stick of ram in and the same thing happens, no display and the power button blinks. I've tried removing my CMOS battery with the capacitors drained and it brought me right back to where I was before. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated, I've been sitting here for hours and would like this to be over with

Are you adhering precisely to the MB instructions for RAM placement in the correct slots? Typically, it should be in A2 and B2 slots.

Did you properly earth before touching the board? Seems you might have zapped it. Hopefully no major damage done, but check round in case you have blown a capacitor.
Asus tend to notify by blinking LED rather than bleeps. So 4 rapid blinks means memory fault (check board manual as it can differ).
