I recently installed new RAM sticks in my computer, but now it won't send a signal to my display. The system powers up—lights are on and everything—but neither my motherboard nor my GPU seems to respond. I'm at a loss for what to do next. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Also, if you're using multiple sticks, try booting with just one RAM stick at a time to isolate any faulty modules. Sometimes a single defective stick can cause the whole system to fail to boot correctly. Let us know how it goes!
Make sure you haven’t accidentally disturbed anything else while upgrading. Just to be sure, verify the RAM is compatible with your system using a tool like Crucial’s compatibility checker. If you’ve swapped the RAM and it's still not working, you might want to try each stick individually in different slots to troubleshoot which combination works. It’s a bit tedious but worth it!
First things first, try reseating the RAM sticks. Sometimes they don’t click in properly, which could cause this issue. If that doesn’t work, make sure you’ve got the correct RAM type for your motherboard and check that it is fully inserted. Also, if you just replaced the RAM, try removing the new sticks and see if the system boots with the old RAM—this will help you determine if the new RAM is the problem.
