just upgraded to a ryzen 4600g and paired the old one- a 2200g to a biostar b550mh that i bought a couple years ago on sale for around 35 usd, new but never used until now. found an old case- a usp100 coolermaster and set it up there but it wouldn't power up. so i took out the screws and had the motherboard sit on top of the standoffs and it booted just fine, installed windows 11 and put it all back in the case but now it wouldn't detect the ssd- a samsung 750 evo. tried swapping to different sata ports and power connectors but didn't showed up again. put it on another pc and booted up just fine. got another ssd- a samsung mlc drive from an old laptop, installed zorin os and now it's working.
so what happened was, years ago, my motherboard died and i cant take it out as the screw in the rear middle part of the motherboard, the one near the rear audio ports, got stuck with the standoff. i tried holding it with pliers while unscrewing but to no avail, so i got pissed and started hitting the back of the standoff with a hammer to forcefully remove it![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
well, it didn't actually helped, and maybe made it worse. tried again the next day with the pliers and eventually it came off. gave me a headache back then trying to figure out what was wrong as the pc also wont power up. ended up buying a new pc case as well. is there a way to fix this, maybe by hammering it back in? i dont think the back of the motherboard is touching the case, but screwing it back in or just the standoff touching the motherboard causes it to not boot up. removed the standoff (the hammered one), and it powered up but now it's giving me random issues like that, like some parts not working.
edit: just want to clarify that hammering caused just a small barely noticeable dent
