In 2015 I built my son a PC
PSU: EVGA tx650
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020
MB: Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K7807MQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
GPU: EVGA GTX980
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487079
RAM: G.Skill ripjaws 2*4gb

Now I pulled another PC apart and took the RAM Ballistix 2*8

and put it in WITH the g.skill
I know youre not supposed to mix ram but I figured it would just be unstable, could that have damaged the MB?
The machine wont even boot to a decent BIOS. I get a gigabyte uefi text but then it just reboots and goes into a shutdown loop. Tried the RAM one by one and that didnt fix it. Swapped the GPU. nothing. Not sure where or what to do next.
