Background Info: my roomate is a friend from highschool, friend that visited yesterday was part of out group of friends in highschool but goes to a college down the street. 

 

So, while my roomate was away out for lunch, our friend and another friend who goes to school with us and was a highschool friend stopped by our room. We watched walking dead and the visiting friend noticed that my roomate left his computer on. So he opened up pornhub on chrome and clicked on the gay porn section. We then went out to eat, leaving the webpage open to surprise him as somewhat of a prank. When we are almost done with our meal we get a text, saying my roomate is going to beat the shit out of our friend for leaving the webpage.. We laugh and think nothing of it. My roommate says because you did that John "Me" is losing half my ram. I texted him and said if he touched my computer im ripping his in half and will seriously beat the shit out of him. We finish eating and hurry back to the room. I come walking in press the power button and the screen wont turn on. I ask him wtf did he do, he said he just opened the computer and took out the ram. I asked him if he turned off the computer and grounded himself, he says he never did that for his computer so no..... So he took out the ram of a running computer without grounding himself. Now when i manually turn on the computer the motherboard and everything lights up and runs, nothing shows up on the screen and after 10 seconds the computer shuts off.. What are the damages? because he is going to fucking pay for all of it and i need to know what is damaged so he can buy all of it again. Remind you I'm a CS Major *freshman and use my computer for everything. WTF 

LOL tl;dr you're kinda fucked, possibly short circuited the mobo, or he fucked up the RAM so youll need a new set of stick(s)

No idea what would happen if something required was pulled from a live computer... 

If anything is electrically damaged it is most likely going to be the PSU and/or motherboard.

 

GPU, CPU and RAM should be fine, unless you're unlucky.

 

Remove all components and test the current flows of all units separately.

what a dick.

how does one do tht?

I would recommend you just go to your local computer shop and let them diagnose your hardware, just add that extra cost to the damages.

 

Or just google ^^

Your BIOS should have detected the problem during it's POST and beeped to alert you of what kind of error it is (depending on your manufacturer's set of beep codes). That should inform you whether it's RAM failure, power failure, CPU problem or a problem with your board

What a retard... If you're lucky it could just be your RAM that's damaged so put some ram sticks in from another PC and try to boot it up, if it works then all you need are new sticks

This.

 

OP, turn your PC on (with all the components inside), let it run and listen for any beeping. The beeps typically last 1 second with a delay of 1 second and then will pause for 3-5 seconds. Count them and then diagnose manually with the motherboard beep tests. I'm gonna guess that some of the RAM modules have become corrupted (although when that happened to me I didn't get a beep code, it displayed on my monitor that it was corrupt), or there is some damage to the circuitry. You said it all powers up fine, does that include CPU fans/case fans?

I hear nothing when I turn it on...  CPU fan and case fans light up

Nothing on my screen.. The led on my motherboard go straight to 04 quickly to 03 then back to 04 then to 6f

Your PC might not have a speaker installed, have you tried using different sticks of ram to the ones your roommate pulled out?
