Ram Upgrade Failure

Question

Hello everyone,  Before ram upgrading my laptop dell inspiron 5570 is working fine but after upgrading my ram which is of 2667 Hz and orginal ram is 2400 Hz. Now my laptop didn't boot as well as it is not charging even removing the secondary stick of ram. I also change the thermal paste and clean the fan. Will you please guide me to get out of this problem.

I suspect the problem is not caused by the RAM but rather the other work you did on the CPU. Check all the fan connections and make sure that nothing in that area has been damaged. It is possible that the additional RAM is not compatible but since the system will not boot with the original RAM in the original slots it would appear to be another problem. Are you seeing any flashing diagnostic lights or hearing any beeps?
