You took a hammer to your very delicate PC...and you wonder why it isn't working? Is this a serious post? If so, please post some pictures so we can assess the extent of the damage. Also, I would strongly advise against turning it back on until a thorough examination has been carried out.

ok i have mad a video so you can see how loose it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu8g2o2qyBE. also im not sure that it happened when i hammered the screws out as i didtn hit the heatsink. i think it could also have happended when i took the motherboard out of my old case, as i did hear a strange noise.

At the evry least, stop trying to turn it on until you fix down that heatsink properly.

It could have been when you took it out of the previous case something was still attached. Do you recall pulling it out quite hard?

Because the four screws at the corners of a heat-sink can sometimes get caught. Which is maybe what happened.
Could have also been damage from the hammer.

Even if you can't see damage doesn't mean it isn't. 🙁

If you used the heatsink as a handle to lift up the motherboard and one retaining screw wasn't completely undone, that could have caused the heatsink to pull off the CPU.

i remeber when i took the audio cable out of the motherboard i dit hear a strang noise and i recall the audio cable was close to the heatsink, do you tink it could have been torn loose there?

Too late for an Inquest - just secure it and try to fire up the machine. You never know, it may just work. Lay the motherboard on a large piece of cardboard or newspapers to mek sure it's away from anything metallic. Put the power supply unit close enough to connect then touch the poewr button pins with a small screwdriver to make the connection.
