So i dropped something on my desk while my pc was running then it went out and when i turned it on went to bios. Tried to exit bios multiple times and would just keep going back to bios. Now nothing will come on and the Dram light on the Mobo is on. Im not that tech savvy so anyone walk me through how to resolve?

Did you drop something on your desk, or on your computer tower?

You can follow these steps and it might fix it:

1. Unplug PC from power
2. Press your power button on the pc a couple times to discharge it
3. Open up your PC and remove the CMOS battery(it’s about the size of a quarter, Google CMOS battery if you need help)
4. Hold the power button on your PC for one minute
5. Put the CMOS battery back in and test to see if your PC is working now

So. It started with the Dram light and then went to Boot. After playing around i switched it from Uefi priority to CSM, my theory is that when the stuff fell it caused the Cmos battery to come lose temporarily switching the priority to Uefi. What a headache and hardly able to troubleshoot. Just that after reseating everything smh..
Anyway its working now πŸ‘πŸ»
