Dark rock pro 4 too heavy

So I recently installed my new main board.  I haven't had any issues but then the PC wouldn't boot . I have tried everything and came to the conclusion that my cooler is too heavy.  If i would boot my PC while it lies on the side but if I would pick it up it wouldnt boot . I have fixed it by tying it with the case with a cable binder.  But I'm not sure if it will hold for long.  Any ideas on how I might resolve this issue.  Thanks in advance

It's much more likely that there is a cable that isn't plugged in properly that gets undone when you lift the PC up. I've had a similar issue with a Sata cable a few days ago.

If I tie the screws in harder my PC won't start in any position. Mobo is z390-f Asus rog strix.  I have checked every cable and nothing seems to be loose.

I'm pretty sure you are shorting something, one of the screws might be making contact with something it shouldn't. Even if the cooler was so heavy that torques the PCB (Which it's not if correctly mounted) it wouldn't make any sense for it to then not work at all if you screw in the screws harder. You're doing something wrong, did you read the manual for the cooler?

I have.  I've build a system with it before and it worked fine.
