Using this computer case article as an example. I remember until few months back you could comment on articles, and also be able to read other peoples opinions/experiences on hardware. I don't see that anywhere anymore. maybe im missing it somewhere?

were you discharging static regularly or using anti static band? some part could have static charge damaged. oh just had another thought... did you connect the main power connector and the auxillary power connector?

i would suggest you power down the PC, unplug it, use a anti static band, and open up the pc. take a close look at everything, even going so far as to unplug and then remounting connections. sounds like something is loose, depending on how hard you hit the desk/pc just like countmike said...

CRYORIG - H5 Universal 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler!!! i love this cooler. you don't need an AIO. this looks nice in white and does the job really well.

https://github.com/nsacyber/Windows-Secure-Host-Baseline/tree/master/EMET wonder if this will help you.

you mentioned photo editing. so you want color fidelity. but, i don't think any of the current ultra wide monitors offer HDR unless you pay $2k or more.

how much paste did you use? I've experienced *cough* a situation where too much thermal paste was causing the temps to be high... ok that was embarrassing... (it was long long time ago before I found the pros on this forum)

are you using a usb 3.0 flash drive to install? if not, you should give it a go. makes spring cleaning (formatting and reinstalling windows a breeze) significantly shorter time to do than installing from dvd. if not installing from usb3 flash drive, do try what scout_03 suggested first :)

common silly user errors: not plugging the monitor to the gpu. not setting it to the correct input. now we got that out of the way, did you check each ram stick? one or more could be DOA. Also, how much thermal paste did you use? did any get applied to the pins on accident?
