I have in my pc 3 hdd 2 ssd's, windows is on one of the two ssd's. i wanted to get rid of the old hdd's and put all the stuff on one drive, so I had gotten a 6tb wd red nas pro hdd (WD6003FFBX). i did not unplug my pc from the wall, i didnt feel the need to. I shut my pc down properly, I put it in my computer disconnecting the c: ssd drive by accident. I turned the pc on and the bios came up. i realized that i picked the wrong drive. I held the power button to shut the pc off. I swapped the drive cables, unplugged the other ssd that didnt have windows on it,and put the red nas in its place. When i turn my pc on it lights up, and the graphics card fans take turns doing half a spin every few seconds. The watercooling radiator fans are on slowly turning. After about 1 minute of this my keyboard and mouse light up but still no bios. I can hear the hdd's whirring but other than that nothing happens now. If i unplug all of the drives the same thing happens. I even took graphics card and used mobo vga and also took out cmos battery to reset mobo to no avail what should i replace or do? Thank you.

Please check again for any disconnected components, then reseat your RAM module. Unclip it, grasp it by the edges with clean and statically discharged hands, remove, replace, and reclip. Then reassemble the rest of the PC and turn it back on.

The first thing BIOS does in any form of Power-On-Self-Test is quantify available RAM, typically followed by disk enumeration. Your symptoms exactly match a failure to verify any RAM at all, which is likely as you only have a single module.

It can become unseated by any sudden movement, such as a nearby stomp or jolt during case separation.

There's also a chance the RAM may have been inadvertently damaged, although this is less likely.

  • I reseated the ram but it did not help i even found another stick of ddr4 and put it in alone in a different slot and it didnt work either im going to try a new power supply but i dont think that will help either. Do you think it could be the motherboard?
