Hi, I have or had a fully functioning gaming PC, that I had just recently built.

Here are the specs:
AMD Athlon II A4 750k - CPU
ASUS AMD Radeon R9 270x - GPU
ASUS FM2 F2A55 MLK - Motherboard
8GB Corsair Vengeance / 1600 - RAM
Corsair CX 430 - PSU

OK, so I built this PC about a week ago and up until last night it was running like a dream. I noticed some of the fans in my computer flicking against the wires and decided to sort them to stop the noise. I decided to basically rebuild my PC, because I like to go from scratch (it helps me work for some reason). I put everything back together with the only difference being some tie wraps organising the cables. Now all of a sudden, it won't display anything on my monitor or any of the TVs in my house. I have come to the conclusion that it is my motherboard, as I have fitted the parts on another motherboard, but I keep thinking that surely it can't be. How on earth would moving the motherboard cause it to break, hoping someone could shed some light on the situation so I can avoid this in the future.

Sorry for the lengthy explanation.

Hi,

One thing for sure is that your psu is too weak, you need a 500 w PSU or greater.
see the post here:

I don't understand how it work and now it doesn't except that the psu has been overused and is now damaged.
