After searching, I thought to change the RAM in different memory slot( Dual Channel DDR3) and my PC started normally and display as well. So, i restarted my pc after 10 minutes and all things did well. But when i shut down and i press the power button to turn on my pc did not start. So, i made the same thing and nothing changed.

In other words, when i change the RAM in different slot my pc works and my monitor is working. Without changing it in another slot, when i restart it everything goes fine, but when i shut down and press the power button to turn on, my monitor does not work and the front fan too.... why??
there is no beep or motherboard LED's ! I built my PC in 2014

CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2 Ghz
PSU: Corsair VS Series 450 WATT
MOTHERBOARD : Gigabyte GA-Z97M-D3H
RAM: Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8GB ( 2x4GB) 1600 MHz
SSHD: Seagate ST1000DX001 1TB 3.5 DESKTOP
SSD: Samsung MZ-7TE120BW 840 EVO
I do not have Graphic Card.

PC is running Windows 10 Pro Version 1903

When I change the ram I mean that i shut down PC and i unplug supply cable, all usb cables, LAN cable, and VGA cable. There is nothing connected to PC. Later, I press down the tabs at either end of the slots and i change the ram. For example by grey slot i install it to the one black slot. So when my computer turns on but Displays nothing i remove it from black slot to other grey slot. My Motherboard has 4 slots. ( black, grey, black, grey). In the end, I plug all cables and my PC and my monitor work fine.

RAM will go in PCI slots? Do you mean PCIe? Or The RAM slots?

DDR3 and DDR4 (RAM) slots are not PCI or PCIe (backplane) slots.
