Solve : Incompatible RAM Issue? so confused?

1.	Solve : Incompatible RAM Issue? so confused?
Answer» Hey guys! I have had an ongoing issue, i think I have found the root of the problem but i wanna know what you guys think! So, I had some major problems with defective products sent to me by newegg, its a long story, however my processor and mobo ENDED up being doa and i finally got new ones from them. However after my setup, when i power up, i get no display at all. fans spin and everything but no display. There is no issue with the gpu as I have tested for this, and I also know the cpu and mobo are not defective as I have tested for this as well. The only thing i can really think of now is the ram. after researching and doing the no post checklist multiple times, i ended up finding that my ram is not listed on the qvl for my mobo. Could this be the issue? Can incompatible ram cause no Display?

Hey guys!

I have had an ongoing issue, i think I have found the root of the problem but i wanna know what you guys think! So, I had some major problems with defective products sent to me by newegg, its a long story, however my processor and mobo ENDED up being doa and i finally got new ones from them.

However after my setup, when i power up, i get no display at all. fans spin and everything but no display. There is no issue with the gpu as I have tested for this, and I also know the cpu and mobo are not defective as I have tested for this as well. The only thing i can really think of now is the ram.

after researching and doing the no post checklist multiple times, i ended up finding that my ram is not listed on the qvl for my mobo. Could this be the issue? Can incompatible ram cause no Display?

Thanks!!
