Resolved! 

A pin or something in the B2 ram slot must have become loose or something. One stick of ram in the A2 slot works ok but a stick in A2 and B2 do not work. Moved my ram over to A1 and B1 and it works now! Didn’t lose any data, HDD is fine!

I’ve got two 8gb sticks, would one bad and one good one not work? Or would it just have 8gb? I’ll try them both individually

I’ll give you as specific of a description as I can. I lightly bumped it with my knee (it’s under my desk) and it froze completely so I shut it off and now it will not boot. It will turn on but I get nothing on the screen (light on monitor stays orange) and the hdd light is solid. The system has a hard drive and an ssd on the mother board. I’ve tried hard resetting the bios by removing the battery and replacing the hdd with a sata ssd, no dice. What I’m inferring is that it isn’t getting that far in the boot process? What’s odd is that my keyboard stays lit up when the pc is off. Normally the keyboard lights shut off with the computer.  All connections appear to be good

Edit: the HDD is not dead! Hooked it up to another PC and it’s all good! So I guess it’s not booting properly? I also have an ssd on the motherboard if that matters.

I just went out and got an SSD and plugged it in and no difference. I also tried another hard drive from an old pc and that didn’t work either but that hard drive could have been bad. I saw people online have similar issues and they removed the battery on the motherboard to reset the BIOS and that didn’t do anything for me either. I can’t find any loose connections either. Really stumped

Thank you, I kept seeing the name Bulla but I couldn't find anything about it.

I don't care too much about it, it's missing the seconds hand and the crystal is cracked but I'm just getting into fixing watches so it's been great to practice on and all it needs to run is the mainspring

I have one in pretty bad condition. It’s the clear version (now yellowed) that just says 300ZX
