He certainly didn't launch this for fun or out of boredom.
Political sociopaths have always existed, and they aren't going anywhere. Unfortunately, innocent people are always the ones caught in the crossfire of their greed, while those responsible stay tucked away safely, leaving others to pay the ultimate price.
I'm not taking sides here. If you want to pick a team, go ahead—go grab your gear and see how long you actually last.

The funniest part? These same people view themselves as "progressive," yet they label anyone who isn't picking a side like a sports fan as some sort of Putin sympathizer.🤣

👍

Ninety percent of people are thinking like five-year-olds, yet we’re all going to feel the sting of this conflict firsthand.
Prices are climbing every single day. People are going to lose their jobs, and who knows what else is coming down the pipeline.
No war has ever yielded anything good. (Except for the profiteers.)

Larry Ortiz5 said:Maybe try pulling the RAM out and reseating it in a different slot... or, you could just take one 8GB stick out entirely and see if that does the trick—if it doesn't work, try swapping it for the other one. Sometimes RAM can be a little finicky like that, right?

The issue might be how those two sticks are paired.
Check the motherboard manual for the specific slot configuration. For instance, if I plugged mine into slots 1 and 2, it wouldn't even POST.
It could be the same deal here—needs to be 1 and 3, or 2 and 4.

I don't think that's why the PC isn't starting.
You can technically run without a fan for a bit until the processor overheats or fries itself. 🙂

@Rockstar
Grab the motherboard manual and double-check every single connector placement.
Verify the PSU is actually delivering what it should.
RAM is a frequent culprit. If the modules are older, try cleaning the contacts with an eraser.
There's also a solid chance the motherboard is just dead.
