I'm having trouble with my computer after moving it to a larger case. English isn't my first language, and I'm not very tech-savvy, so I appreciate any guidance! My boyfriend bought me this new case as the old one was small and overheated, putting a lot of stress on the components. We transferred everything, but now I get an orange light that says DRAM, and the computer won't boot. It worked fine in the smaller case. We've tried various troubleshooting steps we found online, but nothing seems to work. If you need any specifications or further details, just let me know!

It’s likely that the RAM might have come loose during the transfer. Double-check that all sticks are firmly in place. If you haven’t already, try booting with only one stick of RAM installed to see if that helps.
It sounds like there could be an issue with the RAM. Did you take the RAM sticks out while moving the motherboard, or were they in the whole time? Sometimes they can get unseated during a transfer. Also, make sure to check all connections to the board and power supply.
Have you tried turning off the power supply and holding the power button for about 30 seconds? Then power it back on and try booting up. Also, removing the CMOS battery for a bit can help reset things. If that doesn't work, check the CPU power connections and make sure everything is seated correctly.
