Hey guys, so my custom build pc fell about 3 feet yesterday. It's sad but I want to know how to figure out how bad it is. The main things are my power supply, CPU, mobo, and graphics card. I don't think the graphics card is damaged based on how it fell and the power supply was at the back and it fell on the front so I think that's ok. The CPU I think is ok because the motherboard is protecting it. Issue the problem is the motherboard. Am I right in assuming this. Any advice for fixing it? Just buying a new mobo and trying it out. Thanks.

It worked the first time then shut off in a couple minutes. The fans don't work so to think it is the motherboard.

To find the problem, best case is to strip down your build to as few components as possible - mobo, ram, 1 HDD, PSU. If you can, run off your integrated video off of the mobo. If you still got problems, try swapping out components one at a time. If you swap them all, and things still don't work, then its the mobo.

just reading the information you posted,
