Aurora R4, powers on but doesn't boot up
was just testing a few things and took out my ram to see if an "upgrade" would work as my neighbour gave me some pc parts because he was moving away. I put in his ram and tried to turn on the pc. The pc now powers up but doesnt boot into anything, display any video or power any usb devices connected.. please help!! I have no clue whats wrong and why me switching out ram made my entire computer not boot!!

that is sometimes expected outcome of swapping memory.
at this time take out all the neighbor's ram (what spec?) and reinstall single stick of old R4 ram. if system can POST, add a second old ram and so on.

if PC still no POST, take this opportunity to replace cmos battery w a new one then clear cmos settings by motherboard jumper. after that go back to my 1st reply to try old ram again.
