So I got a new desk and moved my PC. After setting it back up I tried to power it on and it didn’t come on. Everything was working fine no more than 30 minutes before this.
I checked the power cable and all other cables in the PC. Disconnected everything from the PSU and plugged in one by one. PC ran fine until I plugged in the CPU cable and it immediately shuts off, clicks, and tries to power up again before repeating the process about a second later.
I haven’t taken the CPU out yet to look at it because I don’t have a long enough Philips screwdriver to remove the CPU cooler. All the parts are about 3 years old.
Is it possible I bent a pin or two when I moved it or could the cable have shorted out that quickly?
