I am getting extremely mad about this now. I had a laptop that I gave up on and took apart to salvage parts, so I just took the hard drive and put it into my PC. It just didn't read right and after I took it out, my PC stopped working and I have no idea why. It powered up and had no beep codes or anything like it usually had(one beep to signal it's okay). I took it all apart and when the cooler for my CPU came off I got thermal paste on my pins and tried to wipe it off and bent some, so i bought a new motherboard and same type(GA-Z170-HD3P). It arrived and still had the same problems. I did some tests and a new power supply didn't change anything. Only removing the RAM fixed it and I heard a long beeps which means no RAM was installed so I bought some new RAM(DDR4) thinking it would help it and it ofcourse didn't! I have a GeForce GTX 1070, CX750M, HYPER 212 EVO cooler, and 2 x 8gb 2400 DDR4 RAM, and a intel core i5-6500 lga 1151. Please help me, I'm just hoping I don't have to spend much money!
Can't figure problem out!

okay .. you need to boot up your pc with just the ram cpu and power supply connected. remove sata cables usb connectors and gpu from the motherboard.. connect your monitor to the on board gpu and see if it boots up.
edit : when you installed the motherboard to the case.. did you use standoffs ? what case do you have ?

did you use those when you screwed your motherboard into the case ?

there could be one in the case that isn't needed that is shorting out the motherboard.. but this is a low chance . i was just thinking that the removal of the ram could be releasing the pressure that is shorting the board but the best way to test if it a problem within the case... is to breadboard the pc ie: build the computer without the case on top of the motherboard box and try powering it up.

ok.. so right now.. when you turn the pc on.. it powers on .. fans spin and then it immediately goes off ? i'm just trying to get a clear pciture.. i am considering clearing cmos
what is worrying me is that you damaged the cpu. i think we need someone else to give you some fresh ideas because i am at a loss! the only variable that hasn't been changed as been the cpu when it comes to core components. i have had no experience with a hard disk damaging a cpu though. the cpu contains a memory controller and that could be why you are getting ram errors.. but that isn't based on any solid facts.

i am hoping not but if it isn't then you maybe the first person to own 100% compatible parts.. all fully working individually .. but not working together with no obvious solution!
i am surprised that only i have been offering up help to be honest .. i would expect a problem like this to get the experts excited to try and fix it .. perhaps they are scared of failing!

He bought a new motherboard.Unless bending pins here should that not be the problem.
If you ask the right questions why should someone else do the same? Aidan pretty much did already most of what people can expect to look where the problem is.

sounds like the right thing to do because without being able to get hands on with the pc it's becoming hard to find the solution. the only other thing i can think of is if you were to make a video of your problems and upload it but you may find it easier to go to the store .

so the point about bent pins could be valid .. he appears to have ruled out everything else ?
the hdd in the first place may have broken the old mobo.. and now has nothing to do with the new problem.. either the insertion of the cpu into the new mobo.. or the thermal paste got onto the circuit board of the cpu when he removed the cooler.. or he damaged the cpu when removing the cooler
if it isn't the cpu! then i suggest you try either a different house state or country! because not only did something break your pc.. it is breaking my brain ha!
