Question Did this fry my motherboard?

[Mcleese902]

So I just put this machine together and tried to boot , which didn't happen , quick fan spin . Then as you can see in the photo the I/O shield is stuck in the HDMI slot. Could this of causes a short somewhere ?


Edit - wont let me share the image link . To clarify the bendy points on the backside of the I/O shield managed to get stuck in the HDMI port

Any help would be appreciated thank you.

Go on imgur.com. Upload your picture there and share the imgur link here.

Can you share your full system specs including brand and model?

And having metal things in ports isn't very good.

Hi McIeese,
you'll want to fix that I/O shield for sure, but you should also then work through a systematic checklist for what might be the problem, like so:

"No POST", "system won't boot", and "no video output" troubleshooting checklist

"No POST", "system won't boot", and "no video output" troubleshooting checklist This checklist is a compilation of troubleshooting ideas from many forum members. It's very important to actually perform every step in the checklist if you want to effectively troubleshoot your problem. 1.Did you...

I doubt the shield problem is what's causing your build to not boot.
Good luck, you're probably closer than you think to nailing this.

Thanks for the motivation ! I knew there would be trouble mixing an old case and psu with a newer motherboard

Yeah that low budget PSU is not going to play nice with a 6950. The Radeon 6000s need way more power than that, you should get at least a solid 750W.
