I wasn’t aware I needed to power down the PC before installing the internal parts. After doing so, the machine stopped working until now. I believe the motherboard failed, but there’s a warranty available—hopefully it applies.

Hey there

You're right, don't touch anything until you turn it off, disconnect the plug, and press the power button to clear any leftover power. Make sure your power source has a safety feature—sometimes just pushing a pin back in works. Good luck!

I verified the PSU, it's functioning properly—it was just a learning experience for me.

I was counting on installing a USB Wi-Fi card instead of a PCIe one.
