It took "Tried another GPU in same mobo" and swapped that for "New GPU didn't work in old mobo". Yes, you're on track. | ||

The rest of the case has the sheet metal lifted up, and the motherboard sits right on it. I just don't get how these risers work, because I do not have enough of them for every screw hole and just ughhh?? Z77a motherboard, MSI Commando Snow Edition Case. HELP?! | ||

It says I have to install risers for every single mounting screw for the motherboard, but there are 9 mounting screws and I only have 2 risers?? But in the middle of the case already, there is something that looks like a riser that fits right into the centre screw hole for my motherboard. The rest of the case has the sheet metal lifted up, and the motherboard sits right on it. I just don't get how these risers work, because I do not have enough of them for every screw hole and just ughhh?? Z77a motherboard, MSI Commando Snow Edition Case. HELP?! Just use the ones that correspond with your motherboard. If you're short a couple, focus on the areas where the CPU, RAM, and cards go. The case supports multiple board form factors. Some of those are for different layouts of mobo. Unless you're having trouble with something besides the standoffs? If you didn't get enough, contact the case manufacturer. | ||

At 3:30 on in the video you can see the inside of the case. Where would I have to put the risers? | ||

And they're just bad at everything. Sadly, I know about a dozen people who have Apevia cases, because they bought them for the cheap PSUs. Stubborn people. I've replaced the stock PSU in every Apevia case a friend has ever bought. | ||

Turn on the PSU, install motherboard standoffs, reseat everything, check for shorts, redo the PSU cables, make sure your motherboard case headers are done right, make sure your power strip is turned on, check your circuit breaker, make sure the power is on to your house, and post coherently or get a response that's as intelligent as your question. | ||

You can get by one or two short if you're tactical, but yes. Call TT and yell at them, then drive to the nearest store that sells them because it's easier that way. | ||
