The 750 watt rating seems high for this setup. If the fans aren’t turning, it might mean the power supply isn’t handling the load well. As I mentioned, I’m planning to link the GPU using an 8-pin or a 6+2 connector to check the situation.

Only six pins are linked to your graphics card. There are two available pin holes.

This seems to be the issue. I plan to test it later today. Hope it works.

it may, or not. usually, there's no reasons for the machine to do that except when something is shorted between 12/5V or any rail to ground. even if you didn't connect power supply on the gpu. you usually get a message that say the gpu need extra cable. but maybe i'm wong and some motherboard/gpu doesn't warn you and refuse to sart, and... i really hope for you

Check where the missing parts are located. Verify if the stand-offs are positioned against the back of the board correctly or if they’re simply absent.

I connected the two pins, but the same red light stays on. The device doesn't power up.

It seems like you're wondering if you overlooked something important. Could it be the issue?

Would it match what I did in the corners? Just a standard Philips screw?

I was curious about where the confrontations are happening. It seems the threads aren't visible. I thought maybe they were misplaced and made contact with something on the back of the board. However, it looks like the stand-off spots are gone—there aren’t any left. The screws that came with the case should work just fine. Edited September 5, 2020 by ShrimpBrime additional comment

You're asking about the screws or the small metal piece that secures your SSD.
