Hello everyone, I hope everything is okay. I’m going to explain the events that led me to write this message now.
I recently relocated to a new city and transported my PC and monitor to my new home. I realized my mistake when I discovered that the case wasn’t shipped separately—it was all packed inside a sturdy box.
The problems started when I opened the box and looked for the PC. It looks like one of the case legs was broken, but I didn’t notice because it was securely placed in the box. However, during a closer check, I noticed the GPU was slightly misplaced, not just a little. The small lock on the motherboard connector was damaged, though the GPU itself remained intact.
Later, when checking the storage ports that came with the motherboard (HDD and SSD), they were also bent. I fixed them all, but initially the PC wouldn’t power on or would start but then display a black screen. It seemed the problem was related to the cables—after reconnecting everything, it worked perfectly.
Now I’m testing stress tests to determine if the issue lies with hardware or my cable connections. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I’ve been running stress tests on all components, and so far everything appears normal.

Specs:
MBD: Asus PRIME B450M-A
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core 4200 Mhz
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 2 x SSD & 1 x HDD
PSU: Cooler Master 850w
OS: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro

It's prudent to take off and pack separately packaged heavy parts like GPU and CPU cooler specially when shipping by 3rd party couriers, by plane etc. Wiring and connectors, if properly inserted in first place, don't have much mass for inertia to dislodge. If nothing is physically broken, there's no much danger to parts, only when they dislodge under power.
