My lenovo laptop wont boot/post after i replaced the drive and ram. I bought a 256gb ssd and an 8gb ram to upgrade from the 512gb hdd and 4gb ram in my laptop. I replaced them both and after i pressed the power button it seems to not boot.

How long did you wait after pressing the power button?
It needs to do memory training for the new module(s), so it might take a minute or two to show any signs of activity (aside from the power button LED)

check if the RAM is seated properly
that might be a culprit too
