Yeah I just noticed they cut a few corners, and it took way longer to get my system than it should have. I would also rather build an intel 8700k system instead of the 6 core 7800x system. The temperature fluctuations I would see did not seem normal and I have read that other people with similar systems have had problems with these systems. I really appreciate the help though!

Thanks for the feedback. I originally bought the system from iBuypower and it is still within the first 30 days of receiving the system so I decided to send it back for repairs, but now I think I'm just going to ask for a refund because I am confident enough to build my own system following a guide after getting into more Linus videos and whatnot. I was unimpressed with the cable management and overall quality of the build. I had an iBuypower that had zero problems for 4 years which is the only reason I bought from them in the first place but I think their quality has gone down.

There was no beeping. Its an Asus x299 board

Oh yeah, it doesn't have that

I don't know if my MB has that, and I don't know how to do that...

So then it's not dead? The lights on my ram, GPU, and motherboard are still lit up, but fans, mouse, keyboard all have no power and signal to monitor is not there.

have a Thermaltake 750 watt PSU, intel 7800x, and GTX 1080 If your PSU dies does that mean it can still power on the lights and whatnot inside your PC?

The TLDR: My PC has no signal to the monitors, no power to keyboard or mouse, but components/fans seem to be running. *EDIT: fans are not running either... More context: I have had this PC for less than a month, but recently the morning before this happened I went in my office when my computer would usually be asleep but some fans were spinning like crazy really loud so I shut the computer off, restarted it and everything was normal: temps looked normal on my Cam software. Later I was just playing a game (not a heavy strain game either) and all of a sudden my PC's power cuts out (only the PC not the house). So I turn the PC back on except there is now no signal to the monitors or power to my peripherals. I looked up possible fixes, tried unplugging then holding the power button for a minute but that didn't work. I haven't opened it up yet because as far as I can see everything inside has power and turns on and there are no signal lights on the MB indicating another problem... Help!

Hmm I didn't think abut trying a rubberband edge that seems safe enough... It doesn't seem like its completely smooth, one is worse than the other. I just have a feeling whoever screwed it in in the first place may have screwed to hard

Its the Asus x299 Mark 2. iBuypower has already said they will replace it. The motherboards built in plate that it is screwed into is not removable. I just wanted to know if anyone here has dealt with stripped threads before without replacing the part altogether

I see what you did there ha, I already have a shipping label from them but was seeing if anyone knows a way to fix a stripped thread on a PC safely so I don't have to wait another 3 weeks to get my repaired system back.

I don't know if you read the part about how there is no NZXT backplate because the area that holds the CPU. It covers those holes where the backplate would fit so you cannot use the backplate at all.

**UPDATE** So I tried the rubberband solution. I cut a very small strip of rubberband and poked a hole in it, after that I put the screw threw and tried screwing it back into the stripped thread on the motherboard and it worked!!! The screws held in place very sturdy and I was able to get my cooler put back on the cpu. My cpu is now showing temps in the normal range. So I received a computer from ibuypower in the mail and turned the system on to notice my CPU temps were incredibly high. I have an NZXT Kraken x62 cooling system so I unscrewed it to see what might be going on. The CPU holding place is too large for the krakens backplate so it was screwed directly into the motherboard. Two of the screws screwed into the motherboard that the kraken sits on are loose, I take them out and find out they screw into the two other slots just fine meaning that the threads on the motherboard itself are stripped. My question is: Is there any safe compound of any type that you can use on PC components to repair stripped *threads (not screws)?

Hmmm, yeah there was no mic plugged in. It was never there until I cleaned dust out of my computer, so I'm thinking it must be that dust got somewhere it shouldn't be...

So I was doing a deep dust clean on my PC and after I finished and booted it back up I noticed my audio had or static scratchiness to it. I tried blowing my duster can strait into the jack, used a q-tip with some alcohol, and even unplugged the audio cable from the motherboard (as I'm using the on-board audio). Nothing seems to have helped...
