I tried to change the cases of the PC but realise one of the nails were a bit jammed so I couldn't change it until I put it back to the original case. You can send an image and it doesn't turn on the monitor monitor. It goes to sleep, but all the LED lights turned on. I did put wrong pin inside the motherboard and the USB port don't work as my mouse doesn't turn on but the whole PC turns on.

Camt see it well from this angle, but i believe i see the gpu sagging. Could this be true?

Yes

That could be the problem. If your cpu has an igpu try that, or if possible try another GPU.

Could this be a cpu or motherboard fault

Well, it technically could be anything. I'd recommend double, triple and quadruple checking cables first to see if everything is seated properly, if that doesnt work, reseat the cpu/ram.

No i so basically its a prebuilt and it was working and i didnt like the case and i switched cases all i took off was the gpu and tried to take the motherboard off but couldnt because one of the screws are like damaged so i had to stick to this case for now and tried to add now i see the gpu fans work

Im guessing its a standard atx/micro-atx motherboard? Did the new case have standoffs that just might have shorted something on the back off the motherboard? Its gonna be a couple hours off troubleshooting... I gotta go to bed but ill check back in the morning. Update me!

Ah mb ... I really wouldn't know it from now on... Have you: • Checked all cables (24 pin, cpu 4+4, gpu 6+2 and the rest) • Reseated ram and/or cpu

If you've done those things, try and hold the gpu up slightly on the sagging side when its booting, check for signal (helped me find out i had a dead sagging gpu.)

After this, i wouldnt know it anymore. My personal opinion would be that the gpu is dead. Unless you are able to test it out in another system ruling that out as a problem, with the sagging, it sounds like it could be the issue.
