Hey guys! I've been looking around for answers for quite some time and I haven't found any solutions or any similar question about my problem. I built my computer fairly recently and I've been using it for about 2 weeks now, I haven't done overclocking yet beyond changing the speed of the RAM. This morning I tried to check temps using the Ryzen Master software to compare it with what I was getting from HWMonitor, and everything was still running fine. Later on, I was doing some work stuff and decided to get up and rest for a while and left the PC running. I decided to get back to work and saw my PC went into rest mode. It didn't want to wake up and the debug code E0(S3 Resume is Started (called from DXE IPL)) was showing on the motherboard. So I had to do a force shutdown and I booted into OS then it suddenly shut down and restarted again. The debug code also changed from the usual A0(IDE Initialization Started) or 24(Reserved) to D3(Some of the Architectural Protocols are not available). I got into the OS found out that after uninstalling Ryzen Master it was back to the usual codes. But now every time I boot, after a few seconds it'll shut down, the fans would stop and it would try again. It would boot into the OS and run programs for a few minutes then do it again. Here are the solutions I've tried: 1. Go into BIOS and go back to default settings: FAILED still boot looped 2. Took out the RAM and swapped their places, ran everything at stock, and swapped out my UPS for a better AVR: Test Ongoing; seems stable for now... I'm worried I might have killed my CPU, but judging from the temps, voltages, and speeds I'm seeing in TaskManager and HWMonitor, they seem to be okay. I'm hoping my last solution works out in the long run. I just hope somebody out here can tell me what could have potentially happened to my PC with all that's going on. Here are the specs btw: Ryzen 2600x with Stock Cooler 2x8GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3000MHz MSI GAMING Z RTX 2060 Gigabyte X470 Gaming 7 WiFi EVGA Supernova G+ 650W Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB WD Blue 2TB NZXT H500

yeah I hope so too, thanks for all your help though, I really do appreciate it.

No there wasn't, the motherboard and standoffs were pretty secure I made sure of that, as a final plea for help though, I just sent deepcool an email about this particular case.

Really when I was building and testing it, I didn't really have any experience like that, well besides this taxing problem at least.

Yeah, it's just been really hard to find anything from the manufacturer to help me. This is what the PC looks like as a whole and seems to match what you've sent (excuse the clutter wasn't my place that I built this in) :

That sounds really unfortunate, hopefully the laser cutting can get it fixed, I don't have any facilities around me that do those kinds of services, so I might just use a saw and file down the rest of the metal. Btw sick test bench, looks really cool.

Oh no, must have forgotten to type it in, anyway its the GamerStorm New Ark 90.

Glad to hear I wasn't alone with this one, but I was really hoping I wouldn't have to butcher the case, but it's looking to be the most plausible solution. Thanks for telling me about your predicament.

I'm pretty sure I mounted the motherboard correctly because I reseated the motherboard like 5 times just to see if that was the problem, but no matter how I look at it, it's definitely not the motherboard. I think you might be right, maybe this case isn't up to spec, or maybe because the GPU is new,I really don't know at this point. Thanks though.

I was surprised too, I removed the first cover and it ended up not being aligned there at all. But when I straighten the GPU when it's on its side, all the ports are blocked.

I wasn't sure where to post this, since I haven't seen any other post relating to my problem in other categories and this is my first post to the forum. Anyway, I built a computer recently for a friend and here are the specs: Intel i7-8700K Asus Maximus X Formula Dual Channel 32GB DDR4 Zotac RTX 2080Ti Amp Edition EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Samsung 970 Evo 500GB WD 2TB Black New Ark 90 While there are no problems with booting or the post codes, I do have a problem which was stipulated on the title of this post. I've attached the photos down below sl you can get a picture of what my problem is. Does anybody know any solution that doesn't involve cutting down the pieces that block the ports and if there isn't any other solution, how should I go about it? I've made sure that the exposed metal on the cable after being plugged in the port was is insulated from the case, and it works as I've said but I don't want that to remain permanent. Thanks to anyone who can help me with this.
