Walkthrough first build went wrong

[Goldengraham69]

so i was told i fried everything because i screwed my mobo to what i thought was built in standoffs i have a thermaltake versa h22, gigabyte b450 ds3h, amd ryzen 3 2200g, hdd toshiba p300 1tb, psu corsair cx650m, ripjaw 2400 ddr4, an optical tray and wifi tplink. i am not really sure how to troubleshoot to see if i did fry it but i was told i did by my friend and people at microcenter. also when i tried turning it on there was no sound or lights and the psu fan didnt kick on either. and i also had 3 extra standoffs i didnt use because the things i found online said that cases with raised spots with threads in them are built in standoffs.

Try testing the board outside the case.

Would i leave everything connected like normal an take it all out of the case or just take out the mobo only? And can i sit it on any surface when i test it?

You'd leave CPU, CPU cooler and RAMs installed. Disconnect all cables and remove the board from case. Put it on its cardboard, reconnect the 24 and 8 pin power cables and start the board by shorting with a screwdriver the 2 pins on board corresponding to the case power button.

Ok so i switched my cpu to a better one an now the picture isnt showing up on the screen but it showed up with the older one.

What new CPU?

What new CPU?

Amd ryzen 5 2600

Amd ryzen 5 2600

This cpu doesn't have a igpu! So you need a discrete gpu to get a signal.

Amd ryzen 5 2600

You've got the answer above, You can't use the onboard graphics ports with that CPU. You'd need a graphics card.
