Hi guys, heres my issue.
I went inside my custom built pc the other day to check that my front panel audio connector was not damaged/plugged in correctly since i wasn't getting any audio from it etc. Whilst i was in there i decided to check that all my main cables were plugged in correctly, I pushed on them all and as expected the mobo flexed a bit. Bear in mind the system was working just 10 minutes ago. I went to put my side panel back on and turn my PC back on, which i did. But this time i got a solid red cpu led. I didn't touch any cpu related area etc whilst i was in there. I was also wearing an anti-static wrist strap so i was confused. And as if this wasn't enough i get no monitor signal.
THINGS IVE TRIED
1) Checked for bent pins (which there were none)
2) Reset the CMOS (to no avail)
3) Booted with one stick of ram (to no avail)
4) Booted up whilst holding the DirectKey! (physical button on mobo that is supposed to boot you straight into bios)
5) MemOK! (another button supposed to change RAM voltage and frequency to run at compatible speeds)
THINGS I HAVENT TRIED
1) A post test, which i really dont wan to have to do.
Just a coupe more things if you didnt get them,
the system was working just 10 minutes before so it cant be CPU related because i didn't go near that area. Also i was wearing an antistatic wrist strap. As well as this i get absolutely NO moniter signal.
PC SPEC
i5 4670k
Asus z87-A
8GB kingston hyper X blue 1600mhz
Corsair RM 650w fully modular
Asus HD 7770 ghz 2gb
Any help would be really appreciated since this is my first build. Also I'm 13 so as you can imagine this was about 18 months worth of savings. So i can't really afford t go buy new parts. Also before you start claiming that my parents paid for it all because I'm only 13 they didn't. I did a lot jobs like cutting peoples grass and raking leaves for these 18 months.
