Building a computer, did I already break it?

[Breebreebran]

I got my motherboard today so I could finally put everything together. Which I did. I put it all together and got it running. But the 24 pin connector is flimsy. It won't snap into place. So I tried to put it in as best as I could and it worked. But I bumped my tower and it fell out and my computer turned off and now it won't turn back on.
I plugged in a speaker and it wouldn't beep at all. I'm getting zero feedback from this computer now. Did it blow out?

Well, bumping a PC over is never a good thing. What I would recommend doing is resetting the motherboard by holding the button on your motherboard for five seconds, then checking all connections, and make sure the light on your PSU is lit up, to make sure it's not a PSU problem. If it still doesn't boot, you've probably fried your mobo.

Perhaps the problem is something as simple as one of the cables from the power supply falling out of its rightful place. My advice is to take a look at the guts of the computer first, and look for any obveous things like unplugged wires.

Disconnect/Disassemble everything

Reassemble carefully. 20+4 pin connectors need to be held together while they are inserted. Once inserted, you should be able to lightly tug on the cable and it should not pull out. If it does, it is not inserted correctly, or the connector has been damaged

Power it up. If it does not power up, after everything being disconnected and reassembled, you may have shorted out your mobo

I'm going to try it when I get home from school.
But if I did short the mobo, would that short everything that was plugged into it too?
Or should those still work just on a different motherboard?
Oh and something else I noticed. When the computer actually worked, it was on for like 30 minutes. Then when it all died I was feeling around the board for bent or broken pins. I felt the SATA ports and they were really hot. So were the front panel pins.
This isn't normal right? They shouldn't be hot after thirty minutes. On my old computer I never turn it off and I felt the SATA and front panel ports on that one and they were still cold.

If the mobo is fried, other components may be fine. Sometimes there are indicator lights on the mobo, if those don't light, that's not a good sign

Could also be the PSU, use a power supply tester to check if its dead. Also make sure the switch is not on 220

Computers get hot. Parts are often hot to the touch. That being said, excessive heat is never a good thing
