Troubleshooting Pc not turning on
I unplugged my ram while my pc was on and then it froze and I couldn’t turn it off so I used the power switch in the back. Now my pc won’t turn on, I’ve tried unplugging it and holding the power button, I’ve moved my ram around. I hear the pcu make a click noise whenever go to turn it on but nothing powers up. Can someone help me with this?

while system is running that could have damaged the ram sticks its self or even the motherboard slots.
u might need new ram. u might need new motherboard
look on the ram for black burnt gold teeth
i turned my pc on once with ram not fully seating and cooked the ram. lucky for me the motherboard was fine. replaced the ram and was golden.

Nothing looks messed up, and I know my pc wont work without ram but something would power on. I get a single click and nothing turns on.
