Right guys and gals this is long winded so bare with me: Had a nice pc, loved it, did what I needed, got paid from a new job fancied changing the case, ya know spruce it up a bit, swapped everything over, slapped the power plug in everything turned on, but wait a minute, something ain't right, theres no display, no post, no bios, what happened? Initial build Intel i5-8400 32gb DDR4 Ram GTX 2060 TUF z370 That's the question I've been asking myself and many Tech shops, I like to say I'm a bit of an expert with no knowledge, so here's what I've tried so far: Started with reseating the Motherboard (maybe the standoffs are shorting who knows?) - NOTHING Took out the CMOS - NOTHING Re-seated all the PSU wires - NOTHING Changed the RAM - NOTHING Maybe it was the GPU? Used the onboard graphics - NOTHING Swapped out from water cooling to an air fan - NOTHING At this point I took it to PC repair shop Numero Uno = Their answer was that the motherboard was absolutely smashed - Gonna cost £200 for a repair, Pffff I can get a motherboard replacement for £30 it's just gonna be a spare PC now anyway. Brought a new motherboard, all looks good, lets see if this is it, Replace the motherboard..........BOOM NOTHING Slowly giving up, crying, scared, afraid. Waited a few weeks to give myself time to get some rapid therapy. Took the PC to shop Numero Dos = They didn't have a LGA1151 processor spare but they tried a new PSU on the PC and it did the same thing, so I brought a new Processor, is this the fix, is this it? = NOTHING I'm not sure where to turn, I feel like I've tried everything at this point besides not booting this pc into the back of my own head. Help Please I Need Help Regards Me = the unfortunate person who just tried to change a PC case and is now feeling the feeling of just buying a console because PC's give me indigestion.

Here’s a clearer version: The system detected a quick press and is providing additional details now.

I believed it might be possible and searched for the guide, double-checked, but couldn't locate it. Still, I'm nearly certain they're accurate.

After placing the power LED and cables in the incorrect port, it didn't function. Check the header you're using and refer to a YouTube tutorial. I'll share one link here.

Is the PCI-e 6+2 connection for the GPU securely attached? IGPU and GPU might clash, leading to the issues you mentioned—especially if the board reverts to the default iGPU or onboard setup, which could stall operations.

They're both there exactly as intended, the fans kick in and the lights come on. I don’t need to mention I can hear it—just in case it’s my mind trying to reassure me—I really do hear the HDD spinning up.
