I just recently got all the parts for my build and put everything together and it wouldn't boot.
After a bit of troubleshooting I found it booted just fine after I removed the 390 card I got for it.
I'm wondering what went wrong with the card. There are two red flags that came up in the process; it didn't click when I put it into the PCIE slot as far as I could, until I screwed it into the case it would wobble back and forth, and basically installing it with my motherboard already fastened to the case required me to put it in tilted a bit until it seemed to go all the way into the slot. Being aware that these may have been problems I was surprised to see that when I started my build the top graphic would light up and the fan went on so it seemed like it was connected.
I basically concluded that it was probably that this pin in the pic seemed to have been chipped off a bit, but I also figured it may have just been like that and I was just not installing it correctly. Kinda looking for some closure here before I decide to buy a new one, any thoughts?

That is completely normal you flannel wearing faggot.
Clear CMOS. Worked for my 390

why did you even fucking start the computer after you knew you fucked something up and you didn't try to remove it and put it in another slot?
Also my GTX480 has a chipped off "pin" and it works perfectly fine so don't worry about this.
I'd look at the mobo if everything's fine. Could we have pictures of it?

is it worth trying if it doesn't even click in? That seems to be a clear sign that it's not gonna work
>>55559221
show us the damn mobo and the damn case and how you put the fucking card in

Well you're a clever one, aren't you?
Is this your first build?

how likely is it that I fucked it up by not doing this?
btw /v/ said it was probably because it didn't click.

grounded is a fucking /g/ meme for retards. You can not fry anything by just existing

Dude, the click is just the little plastic tab that locks the card into place. Typically if you don't hear it, it means the card was not inserted completely. But some boards don't make any sound. Post a picture of your pcie slots.

It's an Asus Z170 A
I'm not sure what you would be able to tell me from just looking at the mobo
>>55561022
have you actually pushed the retention clic stuff at the end of the pcie slot before putting the GPU in?
>>55561055
What's that?
>>55561074
the flipper thing at the end of the pcie slot
>>55561181
Yeah I tried everything m8 it just won't work
The one other thing that might be the reason is when I originally got all my parts I put them together and I put in the CPU wrong so it was powercycling. I eventually got a replacement mobo cuz the other one had bent pins. Maybe that like, shorted or broke the GPU? idk what else it could be
>>55561415
how can you put a CPU wrong?
And yes, a defective mobo can take parts with itself.
>>55561608
There was a part that came with the mobo that I was supposed to click the cpu into to keep it from bending pins.
