I'm new to computers and f=built my first one. well i decided to upgrade the month old system and installed a new psu well i went to turn it on and nothing, turns out i had a screw laying on my motherboard now it wont turn on, did i fry it?
 
Solution


Did you remove the screw, and reset the BIOS? Usually resetting the BIOS solves that non-booting issue.
Btw, be more careful next time :p :pfff:

There should be a jumper near where you plug in your hard drives, look on the motherboard for where clear or reset is, and move it, or just take off the jumper and power up the system, once its on, turn it back off and put the jumper back and it should be good to go.
