Hello!

I made the horrible mistake of moving my computer without disassembling it first. ( No signs of physical damage anywhere though)

Now if I try to boot it up, all fans turn on, everything seems normal (no lights on mobo or beeps), nothing on screen, no lights on keyboard/mouse

Things I've tried:

Several CMOS resets
Running 0/1/2 ram sticks, different slots
Trying all 980 Ti outputs
Removing 980 Ti and using motherboards outputs.
Reseating CPU, reseating all cables, trying a different GPU.

Then I ordered a 50€ 1151 motherboard and tried just about all of the above (although I did notice a slightly bent pin) and nothing was different.

So I'm still not sure if it's the motherboard that's dead or the CPU?

Or even ram/gpu aswell.

I'm quite at a loss here, what else can I try? Would a faulty PSU show these signs?

Yeah that's on the new board, I've already issued a return which just got accepted so I won't mess with it.

I'm getting a replacement Z170 on monday from amazon. If that has the exact same signs and no beeps/lights without ram I'm guessing that thinking the CPU is damaged is a safe bet? Although that seems so unlikely to me...

the 6700k cpus had a problem with pressure and were bending. Now if you did a long transport with the cpu cooler on, you may have damaged it! In any case get a case speaker , the beep code can help you!

Update: I ended up taking everything out of the case and booting just the first mobo+cpu. It worked. I plugged in every peripheral, gpu,psu and everything works just fine!

Looks like the case got bent in a weird way and was causing a short of some kind? I don't know how else to explain it..
