First recommendation is relax.  The system won't get worse by letting
it sit.  But urgency and panic will lead you to make mistakes.  Be
methodical.  Before you do something, write down why you are doing
it, write down the steps to take, and follow the recipe.  At the end,
mark it success or fail, so you have a record of what you've done.

Second, someone else already suggested it, but reseat all the
components.  You've been pulling things out and putting them in, you
could have jostled something, especially memory, but other connectors
also.

It might be memory, but it could also be the power supply.  Or a bad
battery on the motherboard (if they still have those little pancake
batteries that preserve settings).  Unless you zapped something with
ESD (electrostatic discharge), if things were working before, they
should still work.

Make sure the interior is clear of dust while you are in there,
including the power supply.
