While I was opening up my case, I accidentally placed the monitor cable in the motherboard instead of the GPU. I didn't realise this until after I disabled the CPU driver (I thought that the PC wasn't detecting the GPU for some reason ). This caused the monitor to not display anything when the pc was turned on. I ended up fixing it by moving the ram around and reinstalling some of the cables and the CPU fan.
However, the PC BSOD'd a couple of times when the OS was starting up and now it restarts while it's booting up. The weird thing is that BIOS startup screen briefly shows up every 3rd time the PC has rebooted. I assumed that my ram was fried so I swapped it with a stick that was used on a different computer but nothing changed.
Now I'm stumped and have no idea what to do. I've tried reinstalling the cables and Intel CPU fan (ended up breaking the push in locks) again but it's still doing the reboot loop. Anybody have any suggestions?
EDIT:
I should also mention that I broke the bottom clip for the CMOS battery but I've heard that it should only affect the clock.
