Today I got my new case so I disassembled my old pc and transfered it all to my new case, now when I connect my VGA cable to the onboard GPU nothing happens and also when I connect it to my graphics card. I noticed that when I turned on my pc my GPU fan didnt spin aswell but the cpu fan and all the led lights did work and the disk drive does open if I press it. My graphics card has no power connector on top of it so power should come from the socket. I don't get to see anything for 2 minutes and the I turned my pc off. I don't even see "no signal" on my screen. And uhm there is one last thing, I was unable to tighten all screw I just missed 1 screw because I put the stand-off socket in the wrong hole and now I can't get it out so I just left it there.

Ty.

Maybe you can slide a piece of non-metallic material, maybe some plastic or something over the standoff and see if that works... If you can't get it out, I am not sure what other option you have.

Sorry can't quote from my phone but the situation is that I can't remove the standoff also when I am using the screwhead what I used to screw it in. I tried my best but I couldn't get it out. After all I just left one screwhole in my motherboard unscrewed. I also ment that after 2 minutes waiting my screen didn't show any sign of both gpu's it didn't even say no signal so I just turned my pc back off.

Pliers only damaged the atandoff but it didn't get it out, I noticed little shapes at the back which probably prevent it from getting out

Front and back of the standoff. But is it really necessary for the motherboard to work?

Uhm I think you ment something different, the piece isn't underneath my motherboard but beside it and I really need that standoff for a hole underneath my motherboard which I dont have now

Got the same problem with the screen and I'm pretty sure my motherboard is getting power. I didn't touch the chipset at all and there is still no output from both integrated graphics and my graphics card

Okay, test all the components by totally removing them from any case.

Essentially build the computer but do not put it inside a case. If you have a large antistatic bag you can lay the motherboard down on that.

If it works without a case, then something about the way the motherboard sits on the posts is wrong...

Those parts are old parts I used in another case and I tried what you said and it still didn't show anything, I'll show what I connected

(I just started it by connecting + and - at the panel connectors)

I put the motherboard on a piece of wood with the bag you was talking about in between but this antistatic bag was from my network card so it was small so thats why I my motherboard on a block of wood with the bag in between. Sorry still not working, do I have all the necessary cables connected?

Reseated my ram and I already didn't use a GPU (see pictures) since it didn't get any power or didn't start spinning while my cpu fan did. Result: CPU fan started spinning nothing happened on my screen. I also tried it with GPU and again the dan just didn't spin unlike my cpu fan and nothing happened on my screen.

I got non of the above and again the standoff didn't make any contact with any component or the motherboard itself. I just skipped a standoff and a screw which where meant to be mounted to the motherboard because I put the standoff at the wrong place and couldn't get it out.

It's very difficult to trouble shoot.

The system only need 4 items to POST.

Working motherboard
Working RAM
Working GPU
Working CPU

We have removed the GPU and we're seeing the same problem.
The CPU shouldn't have been removed when installing in the new case.
The RAM you already removed both sticks and tested separately. So it probably isn't this.

Based on the info I'd suggest testing your components on a new system board. Since you don't have one, it is very difficult to point to in the direction you need to go. I would hate for you to buy another motherboard only to have the same problem.

Question:
Did you remove the CPU when transferring it to the new case?

No neither did I remove the cooler I did hold my motherboard from the cooler though.
I do have a second computer in my house but I don't have any thermal paste and the ram in this pc ia ddr2 and in the other one it's ddr3. The other pc isn't mine though so I do have to be very careful with it. I also removed the clock battery to reset the BIOS.
