So the other day I got a new graphics card, a sapphire radeon r9 fury nitro and after playing fallout 4 for a couple hours I decide to overclock it. I got 1200 clock and 600 memory and it was stable played on it for hours but I wasn't happy. Even though I should have been considering I was playing with all the settings up and it was consistent at around 60 with some drops to 45 when the sun hit in the wrong spot or big stuff were in frame. I just guessed that either my ram was runing slow at 1333 so I figured out how to get it's max at 1600 so then I see the cpu clock thing and I decide what the hell I'll try that too. I got my 8350 up to 4.9 even with the stock voltage (i never let Windows run tho) so I tried a more than couple times to boost voltage at 5 but was having no luck and struggled so hard to get it to post to the bios in the process. I have a M5A99FX R2.0 and a Corsair GS700 PSU, I've had this problem for about a year and a half where it I can wiggle the 240 pin connector so much it'll disconnect. The only reason I found this out was because it would shut down on me for no reason. Heat wasn't an issue and I'm pretty sure I had enough power when I was using a gtx 760 with everything stock. I didn't touch anything in the bios even relating to overclocking and only messed around with ram speed because it wouldn't ever do 1600. I didn't look much into that issue because it always figured itself out but now I get nothing even with my old gpu. Vga light is on then I press reset and the cpu light turns on. I've checked everything (except using the speaker... I lost that) and pressed all the buttons (without any specific order... Ik that smartest thing to do) on the motherboard but nothing works anymore.... Can you help please

Please check power and data cable connections on both mobo and drive side. Try different set of SATA and power cables if possible. If you can access BIOS, then set UEFI boot to legacy/compatible mode and SATA controller setting to AHCI mode.

Sorry I responded late, I had work last night. I tried all that but I can't even get anything on the screen so I can't access the bios. I even tried my usb since it has an installation copy of windows.
