So I removed the RAM upgrades installed and ran it on just the 4 sticks, i powered it on, and instead of the simasimac pattern, the screen had that normal screen background as expected, but the floppy disk icon didn't appear, so i figured "oh maybe it needs the floppy drive" so i plugged the FDD back in since the HDD doesn't work and i turned the machine back on again, but now the simasimac pattern was back, so I turned it back off, unplugged the floppy, turned it back on, and now the simasimac pattern was still there, restarted yet again, and it still had the simasmiac pattern. This computer really isn't nice to me.
