Guys, I tried pulling out my 24 pin power connector in order to reset my motherboard (because it short) and gave up half-way (meaning that it was halfway out). I pushed it back in and my PC runs fine (the motherboard was able to restart and I got into bios), but I wanted to ask if there is any risk to my pc right now or if it's all good? I'm worried cause I spent about an hour trying to pull out the power connector and in the last twenty minutes or so of me trying to pull out the connector, it wouldn't budge at all from the halfway point. Right now it looks like there's a small-ish gap (prolly like a millimeter) on the the side closer to the ram (I'm actually not so sure if it's a gap or if it's just the angel I'm looking at though), while the side with the retention pin looks completely normal. Also, whenever I power it up from either shut down or sleep there's this weird static/"vwiiiip"/ripping noise (like I'm ripping open some cling wrap or aluminum foil). Will my PC spontaneously combust because of what I did or no?
