Plug the computer into a wall outlet with a generic black cord then plug either a HDMI or VGA port into a monitor and connect it to the PC after you power on the PC you can either pull up bios or click F-2 F-8 F-12 to boot the computer if beeping noise occur listen to the code and research it and the code will tell you if its ram or another component
