So I bought an EVGA X58 SLI back in February and it was working until two nights ago when I took the MB out to mob my case. When I took a closer look at the board there was a little piece missing from the board, the solder had came off. And theres another piece next to it that's hanging. And when I put the computer back together, the computer turns on, but i don't get anything in he display, not even the boot up screen. What should I do.

Valuable lesson learned: what you should do is stop messing with the machine. Every time you touch or move components you risk damage. Take it to a shop or post a picture of the damaged area. Not much else to tell you.

LOL. You broke it and now it doesn't work. Wild idea, but how about buying a new one?

^ Or try an RMA.
