My problem started when my PC suddenly crashed after 2 or 3 minutes after booting. The fans were running, but no signal from the monitor.
After a few unplugging, it'll come back to life and would run flawless until I shut down 6 to 7 hours later. I did photoshop and played games.
Sometimes when I first turned it on, only the fans would run but the monitor, keyboard, mouse didn't have the power. No beeping. No harddisk activity. It's dead before it even goes to windows. So it's not a Virus or a Windows problem.
Then days later, it won't let me go to windows anymore no matter how many times I unplugged and plugged it.
I read online that it could be a bad RAM. So I took 1 (of the 2) RAM sticks out of the 2nd slot. It booted normally and didn't have a crash for 2 days (I had it turned on and off at least 8 times). So it's a bad RAM stick, right?
Not sure.
Curious, I have to test the "good" RAM stick to the 2nd slot to know it's not the motherboard's 2nd memory slot that's causing the problem.
The same problem occurred. Only the fans were working. No monitor or the keyboard and the mouse. Won't boot to windows. I tried inserting it in and out several times, same result.
So it's a bad (2nd) memory slot?
This time I placed the "bad" RAM stick into the "good" 1st slot. It won't boot also. Same problem, with just the fans working. I tried it several times also, I really pushed it hard, making sure it really went in after the "clicks". Same result.
What's going on? Both the 2nd slot and the RAM in it got damaged? Can that be possible?
Anyway, I was tired, confused, and was sweating bad, I didn't remember trying so hard pushing to install those RAM sticks 2 years ago. So I put back the "good" Ram stick to its slot 1 and it's all good (even if it's only half of the RAM now).
A bad memory slot or a bad RAM stick, any thoughts? It could be neither.

some chipset does not allow you to occupy slot 2 only, must be populate first the slot 1 then slot 2.

This is what probably happened.. stop using the bad ram slot.. you can check the underside of the motherboard for burn marks, or the connecting pins on the RAM
