lol the fuck did u do

I would try and do everything again, remove the PSU and GPU the same way you did before, and put it back together again

but idk

>>163219
Sorry, forgot to mention I've already done that. Checked over both parts and they looked fine to me.

Take the silver battery out for bout a minute.

>>163225
Okay, this stopped the automatic restart, but only the first time I turned it on after replacing the battery. Still no video feed either.

Bumpan for help

I need this thing working. Does anyone know any possible fixes?

Update: Just realised there's no beep from the motherboard when I turn it on, and there are two red lights on it: one next to the words 'GPU Boost' and one between 'DRAM LED' and 'MemOK'. I don't know what these mean but I know the lack of a bootup beep is bad, right?

No, lack of bootup is good. It looks like a video problem. do the battery removal again and go with onboard video then see if it starts like that with the videocard out obviously for now.

You've already tried the good stuff, reassembling, checking all connections, resetting BIOS (taking the battery out).

The blue port on the back is your VGA port, your 'onboard grathics' which is the display adapter your motherboard comes with built-in. Try removing your video-card and connecting to that instead, hopefully you'll get video out.

If you get video out now it's time to go into BIOS, hit F12 or whatever during the initial boot process and have a look around for any settings related to the display adapters/video card.

Also check to see if your video-cards fans begin to spin when you turn on the computer, I know it's not putting out any video but if the fans are/aren't spinning that lets you know it's got power and trying at least.

If you do all this and still can't get that video-card to put out video, or worse-yet the fans don't spin at all, the g-card might be fucked. It happens.

Last step is isolation test, exclude the possibility that the card itself is damaged by testing it quickly in a different computer (your housemates?) to make sure it's fine.

I had these symptons with a screw stuck between the motherboard and case, so it bridged and made the PSU panic. If all else fails, try assembling your parts outside the case to rule out bad insulation.

You've plugged your 8-pin CPU power into your GPU, and your 8-pin GPU power into your CPU.

Aren't you glad you took the time to try all of >>163225, >>163274, and >>163334 's brilliant ideas though?
