How to Fix Black screen after adding RAM?

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Check if your GPU requires WhateverGreen or specific boot-args (e.g., agdpmod=pikera).
  2. Ensure Metal acceleration is fully supported for your macOS version.
  3. Update Lilu and WhateverGreen to the latest versions.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

My Specs

Mobo: Gigabyte Z370 HD3P

CPU : I7 8700k

GPU : Radeon RX 580 Sapphire Pulse

My problem : Dual boot system [Mojave/Win 10 ] boots off a clover USB stick. I planned to add a hard drive and double my ram before starting a new job.

Added the two ram sticks and it wouldn't boot to Mojave. Windows loaded fine and recognized the ram at the proper speed.

I tried to put back the two original sticks in their original slots and now I am getting no output to the monitors. I have no idea what could have happened. I didn't touch anything but the ram. Any ideas how I would troubleshoot this? Everything 'sounds' like it's working normally.

Thanks.
