PC turning on but the screen doesn't show anything and power button will not work?

Earlier today I re seated my ram and when. I turned on my computer again, the fans and lights powered up but there is nothing on the screen and none of the buttons are working. I already tried to put the ram in again and tried different slots, so if anyone has any idea what is wrong please help.

Hi Presley! I am very sorry to hear that your computer is not operating properly. Does your motherboard have debug lights on it? If so, you should see an LED lit at the top right to point you towards where the issue is coming from. I recommend also performing a CMOS reset once you change any hardware in your system. If the issues persist after a CMOS reset, try using one RAM stick at a time in each of the channels to see if this is either an issue with the board or the RAM itself.

Thank you Paul, I took it in for a diagnosis and they said the motherboard short-circuited. Thanks for your help, I'll be getting it fixed soon.
