Okay so I just built my pc everything is new but the GPU (Look at profile for specs) and basically I need to keep the mobo screws out because if the motherboard moves even a little bit, boom the system shuts off. I cant even correctly place the motherboard to line up with the standoffs without it not booting. Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: There are screws under the motherboard keeping the bottom from being scratched. Dont worry.
EDIT 2: After messing with it for awhile I got a screw in the middle to keep the motherboard supported, it turned on and booted up windows but now after a few restarts it starts with all of the fans and HDD running but It doesn't load into the BIOS like usual nor does it show any video signal, Great.
It does work 1 of 3 things happen when I press it, 1. The system boots up normally all is well (this has happened 3 times) 2. American mega trends gives me an error message telling me the chassis was intruded (Probably because the motherboard is out of place) or 3. It gives me a CPU fan error not letting me go on.
Is there something shorting out the motherboard like a rogue standoff? The only metal objects that should be between your motherboard and your chassis is the 9 standoffs that sit under the 9 holes in your motherboard (assuming your board is ATX.its 6 for mATX and 4 for mini-ITX) if there is anything else conductive in that space there will be problems
Well no not at all the thing is its currently off of the standoffs because it wont boot if it is on them and screwed in. I have no idea whats happening.
I think it has shorted once and is now just giving random BS errors because it's broken and doesn't know what to do, like with that CPU fan header error. Try RMA it my friend.
Yea I'm sure its shorted, I've tried building it outside of the case, I'm gonna get a bigger case so it can all fit with extra space. Thanks for the help!
