Pc not booting

[MathiasVO]

Hey all!

 

I reinstalled my custom watercooling loop today(after not having it installed cause of my pump being dead)

 

I was also sleeving my cables when one of the cables on my 24 pin motherboard cables decided to pop out of the metal thing(idk what they're called) leaving the copper wire exposed.

 

My pc still worked after this happened tho, as long as they still made contact

 

But now my pc won't boot, or rather it will sometimes, but I never get an image, not even the bios.

have you already thoroughly checked that 24-pin? I would take it apart and rebuilt it if I were you. make sure everything is plugged in properly and if it is then start eliminating components

I've haven't finished my 24 pin since I can't really get all the pins out. Idk why but me trying to pull them out just made me get the exposed copper wire, the metal thing staying in place. But it worked yesterday, and I haven't touched that connector since

if the connector was already losing wires by itself then it is possible that another wire also wasn't quite making contact, but it could ofcourse be something else.

i dont think its the wires, since it has already booted with that power supply(before i installed my watercooling)

maybe it is a short circuit, see if there is anything unusual. if you can't find the problem you will probably have to take the PC apart and test if it works with as few components as possible
