The first time I turned it on after rebuilding it in a new case it shut itself off after about 10 seconds. I turned it on a second time and so far it is working ok should I be worried. First thing Im scarred about is that I scrached the back of my Mobo with a standoff that was jammed in the case it is a vary small scratch should I worry about that? Another question I have is about the fact that i jammed up my gpu when inserting it because it was a very tight fit it made a lot of creaky noises when it unjammed it from its position but it also seems to be working fine atm should I worry of this? Note after my pc shut itself down I pushed in a bit on all the main power connectors and I am assuming that solved it but I want to make sure that it may not be permanent damage somewhere. I am very ocd and would appreciate it if somone could answer all these questions. Thanks to you in advanced.

PS. Sorry for bad english

Motherboards can really take a beating. If you were complaining about bent pins that's one thing, but getting the mobo to line in your case is another. I've had to muscle the holes lining up a couple time and I can see where you're worried. I would do a couple power cycles to confirm that your system is grounded. Check all your motherboard connections. Other than that you should be good to go and worry free.

Awesome, what about my gpu it creaked a whole lot and was jammed in the slot of the mobo and on the back of my case I had to tug hard to free it, it seems to be working but i just want to calm my worries and makes sure it is ok, and I am also wandering about bent pins on the back of my mobo because it did seem to have a few. Many thanks
