So i was building a pc, first time. Success, it all works. Then me thinking i am a massive expert in computers tried pulling out my graphics card (to see how good my processor graphics card was). I then removed it and i did it with force. BANG!!! I hit something. Computer wouldn't turn on. I trouble shooting my equipment. Definitely not PSU. Ram GPU should not affect startup. My connectors of the case is working (tried on another computer). So it all comes down to my cpu or my motherboard. Bear in mind these are all new parts i have gotten only 5 days before. And its MSY (the worst company in Australia for customer service). If i send back the wrong part i will have to pay another motherboard worth of fees.... so what should i do/ troubleshoot.

 

Here are my parts: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/VBYhLk

 

Any help is appreciated

you sure you didn't broke the PCI connector at the bottom because the card is usually locked in the socket,

Did you bash the card on the side of the case? I wouldn't see how that would damage it, but if you removed it with the PCIe retainer still engaged you probably ripped a part of the slot off the board. Does your integrated graphics work?

 

I was going to say try returning it

But then you said MSY

 

LOL YOURE FUCKED!!

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

When i connect my gpu onto the motherboard and psu there is a light saying it is on. So i don't know what i did

 

And the computer was off while i was doing this.

 

I think it is only a mobo problem (and i can tell the supplier it was faulty when they gave it to me)

There is a clip, or latch, that holds the GPU onto the motherboard.  Did you lift/release the clip (or latch) before you pulled out the card?

 

I know you did not try to remove the GPU while the PC was running... r i g h t ?

 I did remove the latch and the latch is still in tact. Everything looks fine on the mobo. And the pc was not running. It just removed the gpu with force and i hit my mobo

 How would this affect the whole system not booting up?

So again... you remove your GPU (which means you are pulling away from the motherboard), then you hit the motherboard?

 

What did you hit the motherboard with?

i hit the motherboard with the gpu and i think my hand while i was pulling it out. Is my system not turning on the Mobo probelm (which is what i think).

If you ripped part of the slot off there would no longer be contact between the GPU and board, so it won't work.

Since you said you did disengage the retainer, you should be fine.

If you hit your board with the card, you could have scraped a trace.

 

Try with your integrated graphics.

I cant boot anything. Nothing turns on. It is not a matter of graphics cards it is a problem of cpu/mobo

Oh, so NOTHING starts.

Do you have a spare PSU to try?

 

Also check the power switch header, if you haven't already.

power switch header????? on the IO Panel?  And i tried my psu it is fine. I plugged another psu into my system, no sign of startup and i put my psu into another comp (old on from 1999) and that was working normally.

Yeah, where you plugged the power switch and stuff from your case into the board.

 

Also what stconquest said. If you bumped a cap or other part and broke the solider it obviously wouldn't make very good contact and not work.

Did you check the battery on the motherboard, did you knock it loose?

 

How about the capacitors(cylinder thingies)?  Did you bend or break one?

Everything looks the same as when i took it out of the box

 

Also i plugged everything in properly and even plugged it into another setup and worked perfectly.
