After purchasing a 0.8 GHz 12GB RAM, I upgraded it to 1.6 GHz. Then I further increased it to 2.1 GHz, and it still functions. I’m unsure why this works at that speed but notice the 2.1 GHz appears to cause issues with my system. I switched the CPU from AMF FX 8320 to 6300, which seems to be stable despite increased heat. For RAM, I changed to a 16 GB G.Skills model but still can’t boot. The PSU is working and the motherboard operates normally. I suspect the RAM slots might be damaged. P.S. My GPU doesn’t seem to overheat much.

Testing items:
PSU, RAM, CPU, GPU, MOBO
Specifications:
AMD FX 8320
MSI 970 Gaming (Mobo)
GTX 1060
16 GB RAM 1.6 GHz G.Skills
ID cooling CPU+GPU cooler
750W PSU
Keyboard and mouse are not functioning...

If anyone needs a photo, just let me know and I’ll take one.

Goodbye, dear Ram. May you find peace and rest. I switched to a different one, but it still won't start.
