i just got a new ram and I installed it into my pc but I forgot to insert my 4pin power cable back into my cpu then I switch on my pc and after a few seconds when I had no display I realised that I had forgot to insert that 4pin into my cpu so I switched off my pc then I inserted the 4pin into my cpu and when I switched my system back on I still have no display. I’m unsure of what to do.
My specs
Cpu: Ryzen 5 3400g
Psu:Corsair cx 550
Motherboard:asus prime a320m-k
Ram: 8gb 2666hz one that came with my prebuilt
8gb 2666hz Corsair vengeance lpx
Gpu: Zotac gtx 1660 super

Make sure the ram is seated properly. Pull the cmos battery. Unplug the pc. Hit the On button and hold it a few seconds to discharge any juice left in the pc. Wait five minutes. Reinstall the cmos battery and try starting it again. If that doesn't work more than likely there is an issue with the ram. Edit: I see it is a Ryzen system and you are probably adding a stick to what was already there. It should be an identical stick to what was already there. Ryzen is picky with ram. You need matched pairs and also should be using ram on the QVL.

Even when I’ve taken the new ram out and just kept my old one in to see if it was the new ram but still not display but I have power.

Did you reset the cmos? If you get some sort of corruption just putting your hardware back to the last working configuration doesn't always work. You have to clear the cmos. I also would actually pull the gpu and connect to the onboard video.

I’m resetting my cmon now. I’ve turned my system off then pulled the battery out, unplugged it pressed the power button to drain the juice out now I’m waiting to put it back in.

Talk to me goose! What happened? I am guessing that fix the issue, and is why we have not heard back.
