So, First off, my computer specs are as follows :

COOLER MASTER HAF 912
BIOSTAR TA990FXE
PowerColor Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5
OCZ ZS Series 750W 80PLUS Bronze High Performance Power Supply
AMD FX-6100
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
SAMSUNG 22X DVD Burner
Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s

Okay, so it as also worked A1, until last night. I drove down to my friends house with it (it was on the back seat, wasn't jousled around), when I got here, I opened it up, took out a stick of ram to show him the size of it (hes new to computers and what not) and put it back it. Thing is, I out it in backwards, and it wasn't seated all the way in, but the other one was, and when I booted up, I didn't get any video output (Was using dvi), and it wasn't even powering my keyboard and mouse, and the code on the mobo says 54. I looked up in the manual for 54, and 54 translates to 84 (with the hexadecimal to decimal conversion) and 84 means LOG errors encountered during POST. I've got the ram in properely, and tried in on HDMI like I had to the first boot because it wouldn't go DVI aswell, but I don't get anything on the screen and just get code 54. And since im at my friends house, I have limited resources as to test it, but I can try most of your suggestions hopefully. Thanks ! PLEASE HELP ME
 
Hi;
Try taking out that stick of ram and boot up. It should will be 4g's instead. And make sure that graphics card is seated, it might have come loose. Sorry that is all I can think of.
 
Have you cleared the CMOS?

If not try that.

Does your PSU spin up? If not, take it out and ground both the green & black wires with a paper clip, see if it turns on.
 
I tried clearing CMOS twice. The manual said to to it by unplugging the computer, moving the plastic jumper to pins 2 and 3 and wait 5 secs, then back to jumper pins 1 and 2? I tried that twice with no success. And yes the PSU spins up, and the LED on the mobo comes on red (It has also been red)

Click to expand...

Try resetting the bios again, this time with it unplugged, push the power button a few times to discharge the power supply. If that doesnt work, you could have shorted the board out by having a stick of memory backward and trying to boot.
