Why are my monitors black after upgrading my RAM?

-

I recently upgraded my RAM from 2x8GB DDR5 to 2x16GB DDR5 of the same brand, but now my monitors are completely black. My motherboard supports this upgrade, so I’m not sure what’s going wrong. Any ideas on how to fix this?

You might want to try resetting the CMOS. It’s a simple fix that can sometimes resolve boot issues after a hardware change.
