hey does anyone know why tf is my windows not booting after ram upgrade?

i seated my new ram and
- it clicked into place
- the keyboard lights up on my laptop

so it doesn't look like it's a motherboard problem because if it gives power to led lights then it mustn't be dead

but like. what is happening. it was fine. i destaticed myself. i couldn't have fried anything

@mynameistillian did you give it a minute for RAM training?

@mynameistillian @noiob in other words, have you let it sit for a few minutes? Modern machines insist on testing the RAM before booting when it's changed.

@navi @mynameistillian mine has gotten stuck before but it's worked fine after a hard reset so try that if it doesn't budge a after like 20 mins
