So guys, I used a power drill to assemble my new PC, and I mounted the CPU cooler with it also. Now whenever I nudge my PC at all it shuts down and refuses to turn back on for a few hours.
Fuck PC, if it takes that much finesse to assemble one and its so finicky I don't see how it's so great
Post pics or GTFO

This is probably the most obvious and shittiest bait I've seen in years.
Please leave.

read the instruction manual before building a pc
>>53587810
No. It shouldn't be that difficult if everyone says it's so fucking easy to build one

look at OP's pic retard

I am OP
>install CPU cooler with a power drill
Dr Pavel, I'm bait.
The mounting around the PCB for the motherboard doesn't really matter, as it's got no real conductive parts. But did you use a drill for your CPU cooler's retentioner? That may have done something really obscure like crush your socket.
They're PC's, not construction equipement or industrial grade electrical panels. You taking about parts with electrical channels smaller than human hairs, the fuck do you expect?
>>53588035
I didn't have a screw driver on hand
>>53588058
Yep
>>53588120
So then what's probably happening is if you "nudge" your PC as you say, it's probably causing a short on the CPU somewhere. Did you also use the drill for your HDD's/SSD's, or were those in tool-less bays?
You should really just use a screw driver next time, man. Hand tight. Again, you don't have to crush the stuff, but tight enough where the screws themselves won't come loose.
>>53587824
if you think reading the manual means too difficult, you might be mentally impaired
>>53588176
"retard strength"
>why is it broken and not works ?!?!
>>53587746
>I used a power drill
What the fuck is that? Do you happen to mean an electric drill motor? The drill is the pointy, swirly thing you can stick in the end, that strangely enough, drills holes. You would not need a drill at all for driving screws.
Also, stop over-torquing shit. You'll strip the threads, faggot.
>>53587746
Hey op, the integrity and positioning of the power cable into the power supply is bad.
Also, when it doesn't turn on for a few hours, you need to reset the cmos battery.
Also, why didn't you use standoffs, faggot?
>build PC like its IKEA furniture
>yep make sure those bolts have a good bite into the [PCB], so they don't get loose when [fan is spinning]

>>53588229
It's a brand new motherboard, and it didn't come with standoffs
>>53588254
The case comes with standoffs you fuck.
>>53588263
I didn't see any senpai
>>53588254
That thing has different clutch settings, so you don't overtorque screws.
>no standoffs
rip in peperoni
haha. i did this. recently built a computer and used a power drill to drive the screws into the wood. drill slipped and scratched off 3 resistors from the pcb... now only one of the sockets and 6 of 16 ram slots work. but other then that, the board is apparently fine. expensive mistake tho. had to buy another board.
>>53588275
Then that makes you blind and retarded. Please consult a reasonable adult when assembling computers.
>>53588279
The case comes with none and apparently they're not needed for it
>>53588323
"While the manual says there are four extra standoffs included for motherboards, I only count one. This instantly means a problem for you folks looking to put MATX boards into this case. It has built in standoffs for normal size ATX boards, but you would need these extra ones for the two MATX mounting holes provided."
>>53588333
post pictures and let us judge that
>>53588254
>Pic related
Right, it's a drill motor. No actual drill in sight though. Pic related. These are drills.
>>53588366
I will if this thread is alive when I get off work in about 6 hours
>>53588366
>implying OP would be capable of understanding that post
>>53588035
I do this atleast 5 times a day... set the drill to its lowest speed and have the correct torque settings correct and you have no problems.
> Lazy? yes
> Dangerous? maybe
> do i care? no
If the case didn't have any stand-off's and you drilled it to a case, please tell me the the exposed back part of the motherboard is not screwed to a metal sheet.
>>53588254
>Ryobi
Ryobi is shit tier. Get DeWalt, Milwaukee or some other brand that isn't always complete crap.
Try this OP, it fixed the problem for me.

>guys there was no screw that came with my video card
>guys I used a power drill to assemble a pc and it shut offs intermittently
>guys I used a leaf blower to clean out my case and now it won't turn on
>>53588352
is she die?
looks like you ruined your motherboard, dumb fucker.
Fucking bait
>>53588509
Everybody does
>>53588384
Nobody cares at all about your stupid distinction - pull that smartass shit on one of MY construction jobs and you'll get your ass whooped boi
>>53587746
Are you related to this guy by any chance?
>>53588384
>drill motor
Not op but who calls a drill a "drill motor"? And what you have pictured are "drill bits". I hope I'm replying to bait or you're underage.
>>53588553
That's me, so yeah..
>>53588611
He has returned.

What percent of the time do you actually solve a problem with a drill?
>>53588611
Does it feel as good as I think it does to have so much more money than sense?
>>53588681
80%
>>53588736
Yes, it's great
>>53588475
>DeWalt
>Not shit
Off yourself.
>>53588672
You can actually use some older Xeons on Socket 775 boards even though the sockets are diferent-ish. You need to know though if the mobo supports it and there are some modifications that need to be done like patching the BIOS and putting a sticker on 2 or 3 contacts on the CPU.
Those smug forum motherfuckers can go and eat a bag of dicks.
>>53587746
The power drill killed your pc newfag builder. Watch more videos and read more warnings next time.
>>53588793
Then why are you complaining
>>53589078
you sure showed that Newfag Builder. He doesn't deserve to use the best Gaming console if he can't even put it together ;-)

wew no thanks. I'll stick to my nice, indoor job as a machinist, and decent pay/benefits, thank you.

>Not op but who calls a drill a "drill motor"?
You've not been in many machine shops have you?
>And what you have pictured are "drill bits
Or drills for short, as they are commonly called. Now pictured to your left are...wait for it...tool bits! Otherwise called tools for short.
>>53588553
why in the ever living fuck would you just not buy a water block designed for that card?
>mfw thinly-veiled tech gore thread
Hey OP try this, I've only seen 2 people doing it (due to the risk it means)
Go and literally put your mobo in the oven at 77c or so, if it is a problem of bad connection this reflush should try fixing any loose connections or solders, btw do not let it heat a lot or the plastic parts will fuck up
