PC not posting, no speaker.

[DemonWars]

Okay so i got a new case but it doesn't have a mount for my AIO cooler yet.

I was dumb enough to use the plastic backplate for the AM2 stock cooler instead of taking out the metal AM3+ backplate for the stock cooler.

 

They are exactly the same dimensions but the plastic one bent...

So i put on the metal one but now the PC doesn't post anymore.

 

I know if the thing posts when my keyboard and mouse lighten up, so basically the USB ports get powered.

I also use the small blue USB voltage and amparage indicator that Linus showed off and they do power through 5V but 0A.

It doesn't shut off when i press the power button once and i do have to hold it down for it to shut off.

 

I'm planning on testing the CPU on a different motherboard that supports it..

 

It goes without saying that there is no visual output with neither of my 2 graphics cards, tested both slots, tested all my four sticks of ram, and cleared the Cmos with every change...

 

Anyone got any idea what might be wrong?..
