To upgrade the RAM on your Dell G5 5000, first ensure the desktop is powered off and unplugged. Open the side panel by removing the screws at the back. Locate the RAM slots on the motherboard and insert the new RAM sticks, ensuring they click into place. Reattach the side panel and power on the system to check if the new RAM is recognized.
If your Dell G5 5000 won't turn on, first check the power cable and ensure it's securely connected to both the desktop and the outlet. Verify the outlet works by testing another device. If it still doesn't power on, try a different power cable or contact Dell support for further assistance.

To address overheating, ensure your desktop is in a well-ventilated area and that air vents are not obstructed. Clean dust from the vents and fans using compressed air. Consider reapplying thermal paste to the CPU or adding additional cooling solutions if overheating persists.
