SO basically, I was building a pc. I parted out everything and built it. Because of the crazy GPU market, I bought the GPU after having the computer built for a few days. I had some cable management done holding back PCIe so I re-routed it under the motherboard plugged it in. PC wouldn't respond at all when I pressed the power button.
After Removing the Graphics card the computer STILL proceeds to not respond to power, no fans turn on, no noise. I wonder if I may have somehow damaged the motherboard while installing the GPU? Is that even possible?
I know that the graphics card was functioning and working beforehand as I removed it from another computer that I purchased.
RECAP: computer works before GPU, plug-in GPU, Computer doesn't work, remove GPU, the computer still doesn't work.
PC Specs:
Case: Small Corsair Case
Power Supply: 450W Corsair PSU
Motherboard: B450M Pro-VDH-MAX
CPU: Ryzen 3 3200g
RAM: 16GB DDR4 Corsair
Storage: 480GB SSD TeamGroup
Graphics: GTX 1060 6GB Zotac
