I need some advice right now concerning PC hardware...
Here's my story: I was installing a new CPU cooler onto my motherboard and when I was screwing the motherboard back into the case I had to use an unusual amount of force to screw it all the way down. When I plugged everything back in and turned it on, all fans started spinning and I could hear the drives turning on, but nothing showed up on screen. I decided to remove the motherboard again just to find that a screw bit had gotten under the board without me noticing that pressed against the board as I screwed it down, which probably resulted in it tearing or short-circuiting. Either way it doesn't work anymore no matter how I plug it...
What kind of motherboard do you suggest getting that has a 1150 socket, how do I check if any other components might've been damaged and lastly can I just connect my Windows 7 SDD straight onto the board? Any answers are highly appreciated.
