Problem description: Provide a DETAILED description of your problem here.
Last night I have home from my birthday and tried to wake my computer up from sleep. The screens stayed dark but my fans/LEDs came on, after 5 seconds the fans in the front of my case turned off (the other fans including my CPU fan stays on).

Attempted fixes: What have you tried to do to resolve the problem?
Taking out all components besides the CPU, CPU fan, and variable sticks of ram. Taking out CMOS battery and bridging the jumper. I've tried connecting my monitors directly to my mobo but they still stay dark.
I'm going to buy a new power supply on my way home to make sure it's not my current one.

Recent changes: Have you made any changes to your system/configuration recently that might have caused the problem?
Two weeks ago i installed new ram.

Operating system: e.g. Windows Vista (Home Basic/Home Premium/Business/Ultimate), Windows XP (Home/Pro), MacOS X, Linux, etc. Also specify whether your OS is 32-bit or 64-bit, you can check this in Windows Vista/7 by going to Control Panel, System, and looking at the "System Type" line.
Windows 10 x64

System specs: Machine manufacturer/model number. If a laptop, post the FULL model number, which is usually on a sticker on the underside of the machine. Please also include the basic specs such as processor and how much memory you have. If home-built, list your processor, motherboard, graphics card, memory, power supply, hard drive(s), etc. If any other hardware or equipment is relevant to your problem, list it here. If you have a networking issue, post the brand/model/revision of your modem and router from the underside of the boxes. Don't just post the output of a program that claims to show your computer specs, like Speccy, as they are frequently wrong and don't provide enough information (though this is better than nothing if you truly have no idea).

CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 BX80646I54590 Processor (6M Cache, 3.3 GHz)
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-H97M-D3H LGA 1150 Intel H97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 DirectX 12 GV-N1070G1 GAMING-8GD 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video Card

PSU: Corsair CS Series, CS650M, 650 Watt (650W), Semi Modular Power Supply, 80+ Gold Certified

I'd add links to the stuff above but I forgot how to do that and I'm pretty sure if I preview the post my work computer might crash.

Does it make any beeps? If not then yeah it's probably the PSU. If it isn't that then unfortunately it's probably the mobo.

I purchased the card in July and have been running it since without problems. This is what I changed the ram to:

I picked up this psu last night to see if it's my power supply and an old HDD I had exploded a little.

Did you try to plug the same cables from the old power supply into the new one? That is a huge no-no, you have to use the cables supplied with the power supply.
