Product: HP 15.6 inch Laptop PC 15-e2000 (2J4V9AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11
Recently was having issues with windows not detecting the second ram I have, so I removed it to take a look and it appeared fine so until I could get new ram I placed it back. The computer now won’t properly start up. The power light turns on for around half a second to second, and an audible clicking noise is made before the power light goes off. I am not sure what could be causing this, I inserted the ram the proper way, and did not touch any other components. If you have an idea as to why this is happening, it would be much appreciated. Cheers!
