Ok so Recently I installed a 2gb ram in my Asus Vivobook Max after I did t brought me to the boot menu so I suspected the ram was faulty, so I removed it but even after removing it It’s still bringing me to the boot system.
It shows that there is no hardrive to boot of of but the hard drive is there and my Asus laptop has been working before so Idk

Hello and welcome to TSG!!

Did you have to disturb the HDD in any way during the RAM installation? I would try to disconnect and re-connect the HDD.

The ASUS VivoBook Max has several model numbers.
What's the exact model number of yours?

How much RAM did yours come with?
Why were you trying to install a 2 GB module in it?

I did that but it didn’t fix the problem

Can you see the drive in BIOS?

I honestly think I might just have to take it to a technician

Get an estimate first. If it only came with 2GB of RAM to begin with, it was likely a low-end model. It may also be fairly old. Be sure you can justify the cost of repair vs. putting that $$ toward a replacement. Black Friday is coming ...
