After installing an m.2 drive into my system it failed to turn on at all. I took the drive out and it still didn't power on at all so I cleared the CMOS. After doing that now the pc will turn on but will fail to boot with q code 00, no display to monitor and the cpu fans don't turn. The gpu fans will attempt to turn for a second then stop and try again after about four seconds over and over again. After a couple of attempted boots the pc will fail to power on again until you clear the CMOS again. I have tried booting without a gpu, tried booting with only stick of RAM with all my sticks, checked all cables, and was able to borrow a different power supply but none of that fixed the problem. This leaves me to believe it's either the cpu or motherboard but I can't test either of those myself and i don't have any pc shops in my area to bring my system too. The only thing I can think of was I did drop my phone on my motherboard from about 3 inches up while installing my M.2 but it was on a pretty bare spot of the board and there is no noticeable damage. I was thinking of upgrading soon anyways so if I get a new cpu and mobo do you think that'll fix the issue? The Pc is about 3-4 years old with everything being original except for the cpu cooler and I've had to RMA the RAM before.
