Check your power connectors on the GPU. Check they're all seated correctly

Try reseating your GPU (taking it in and out of the pcie slot)

Remember to push the pin on the side down

Check your display connection on the monitor side. If your monitor is on and the display connection on the GPU side too

I think there are bent pins in the socket what do I do

Have you checked? your motherboards probably dead

Have you still got a warranty on the board? if so try and process it

ye you definitely have. Do you know if they were there before?

[Legendario1973]

Nope

so the motherboard isn't still on warranty?

[Legendario1973]

Can't I unbend them?

[Legendario1973]

The MBO is still in warranty but does it cover this? How do I put the stock cooler back on?

My parents are so mad at me

that's both risky and quite hard to do correctly

yes it should

there should be 4 pins on the corners with either screw holes or thumb screws

Happens to us all. if it's still in warranty it should be fine. Contact Gigabyte support if your pc doesn't boot with the stock cooler

If it is still under warranty i wouldn't attempt to bend the pins back. While it can be done it is very fragile and you could end up worse than you started.

I wouldn't cover a motherboard with bent pins, I bet manufacturers won't either.

A quick search seems to support that.

 

And I agree, unbending pins is really difficult if not impossible. But I'd try it if the board wasn't covered.

I'm afraid so, they're considered user damage. The best OP can hope for is usually a subsidised repair.

Check if it’s covered by the warranty
