I changed the cooler on my cpu to a cooler master hyper w12 evo. Once installed the Integrated graphics on the motherboard and external graphics card is unable to display anything. I have tried using a different cpu and same issue Though it does work without the cooler attached.

My thinking is that the cooler Is causing something to stop working cause of the force applied onto the cpu. The cooler itself is really tightly installed and i do have to force the screws to go in at times. Please advise.

i am working with a cm6730-us004s that’s been upgraded with a 3770 cpu.
 
Solution
you may have the backplate installed incorrectly (inverted), or the center pin is too tight. both should not exert any pressure until you get all four corners attached
