Question My computer doesn't display graphics and shuts down unexpectedly when switching cases.
My previous case lacked the component that secures the graphics cards you remove, and the back panel was damaged but still functioned properly. I changed the case and installed a PSU fan, using the motherboard and cooler from an older PC. I connected the processor from that PC to the new motherboard, then powered it on. It occasionally powers off and fails to display video because it doesn't have a graphics card connected via the motherboard's VGA output.

You mentioned you added parts, what were they and how did you hook them up in your build? Have you tried breadboarding your innards to see if the case is causing a short?
You assembled a new computer by integrating the existing processor onto another motherboard. It's important to reset the CMOS and adjust BIOS settings prior to proceeding.
CPU: Intel i7 2600
Motherboard: H61HM2
RAM: 16GB at 1600MHz
Power Supply: 700w, delivering 456 watts over 12V
Cooler: Intel stock one, upgraded to a 'spire sleeve bearing' model
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO
GPU: None installed
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro
Monitor: Dell SE2222H
I changed to the original free motherboard and successfully uploaded it online, but the PSU is very loud and displays 'CMOS settings wrong'.
