need some help please
I swapped my gpu but now my computer won't start anymore, no POST beeps, one system fan doesn't go on, and I am not sure if the cpu fan is spinning either. The gpu clip on the motherboard has come lose (fucking piece of shit was hard to let go of the gpu) and I hit the chipset a few times with a screwdriver by accident trying to push the gpu clip down. The chipset doesn't really look damaged apart of very small surface cuts of plastic, or is it dead?

Try to POST without the GPU. If you can successfully post, you know it's the GPU or PCI-E slot. Inspect the slot and connector closely for damage. Simply reseating it might fix the problem. Don't forget the power connectors.

It looks like you've only damaged the heatsink, so it should be okay, but fucking stop using a screwdriver. Get something blunt made out of plastic or wood if you can't get your finger in there. Press on the locking mechanism and gently move the card back and forth until it comes loose. It takes time.

no post whatsoever, all the fans don't seem to do anything either (aside from the PSU one, weirdly enough the only things that work are the power button (but only for powering it on) and the dvd player that's in the computer. Power must be going to the motherboard at the least.

Start removing components until you're at the minimum required to POST. You really need to inspect the PCI-E slot for shorts and whatnot. Also check around the heatsink you've scratched for any damage on the PCB or chips. It might be a good idea to remove it and see if the underneath is fine.

I need the GPU since I don't have a CPU with integrated graphics, I know it won't start without it because it would give a post beep than. that said, the only thing connected that isn't necessary is the dvd drive. I tried remove the cover but it feels like theres a lot of pressure on those 2 springs. Should it be removeable?

Yes, we need the POST beep only. This is why you want to test without the GPU if possible, because this is how you isolate faulty components. The springs are for mounting pressure. It should be removable, but there might be paste or pads below, so be careful. press down in the middle and keep loosening the screws interchangeably.

I get that, but like I said earlier, there are no post beeps whatsover right no, no gpu, no nothing, also when it use to give beeps you could also power the computer down with holding down the power button, but this doesn't seem to work now.

After you've checked for any damage you might've caused previously, just start reseating everything. Take the mobo out, even. That might help you find the problem.

I will try that then, still it is weird, I swapped the pc beeper speaker for another and still no beeps, it does seem the fans do work, but only for a few seconds, only the GPU and PSU fans will on going
