Well youre wrong Sir. I did buy separate parts from one website and built it myself. It's a good website but that's why they charge me for every separate part.

Okay. This has to be outside Canada, USA, Taiwan, and China i take it. Anyway you are almost 100% sure it is the MOBO though even though the fans spun and shit. I would do the MOBO RAM as the USB pins broke. One more thing you could still try, discharge yourself of all static electricity and carefully disconnect the components and put it back in the old case or on a MOBO box and see if you get the same result, if you do then it is probably the MOBO as the GPU worked on your friend's system and if it works then something in the new case is grounding the MOBO.

Yeah it's actually in the Netherlands. The website offers to put the computer together for you but I decided to do it myself together with linus' videos. When you put it together yourself they charge you more when something breaks because they think you fucked up which I probably did to be honest. I will put the computer together on my motherboards box and tell you if it worked or nah. Thanks for the help so far though!

If the system was working before the change of the case and now all of a sudden it wont work then it obviously has nothing to do with the UEFI and the need for an update. If you are certain that ALL of the cables are plugged in to their respective locations (re-check this) and you are attempting to boot it with no hard drives or anything else attached to the system but a mouse and keyboard, it should boot unless something got damaged on the motherboard (graphics card tested fine) or the power supply got damaged or there is a shorted out wire. Static electricity can also toast any electronic component quickly, however I doubt that this is the cause.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, Insightful or madness?

Update:

 

Its been a while but I waited till I had full access to my friends computer. Now that I have, I've put my cpu in his computer and turned it on and after showing some number in the bottom of my screen it turned off again after 5 seconds. So i thought the problem was my CPU. Then I put his cpu in my computer and turned it on and the exact same problem occured with my CPU; it would turn on but not post a signal. So that made me think it was my motherboard that was the problem.

After these experiments its between the CPU and the motherboard. But which one of the two is broken?
