Hi,
Welcome to Seven Forums!
Did you double check to see it is fully plugged in all the way? If not then do that first.

Also check other power connections. After being inside a Case we sometime work things loose. Is the card detected in your BIOS and set to be the preferred graphics device?

If you switch the RAM back, will the system boot?

If you fill in more of your system specs, you may receive better advice.
