I just transfered my rig into a new case and i had a little accident it think i put the processor in the wrong way and of course it didnt boot, so i took it to bits and put it back in the right way and it still wont boot.

It powers up and spins the cpu fan but then doesnt post to the bios,do u think its broke?

One thing tho, i dont have a vga cable so im relying on the pci-e card and dvi. Its just a cheap passive cooled thing so it doesnt need extra power, my processor is an e6300 but the case only has a 200W power supply do you think that will do?

Have you looked at the pins on the cpu? Are they bent? I dont think I can remember a 200w psu!

No no no no no no.

Reccomendations are for at least a 350W PSU to be installed when using PCI-E Cards.

Before you do any damage (that's if it has not already) then take the 200W PSU out and replace it with your previous one and if not then another one the same or above the reccommended wattage.

What cpu do you actually have? An lga775 socket one?

Check the pins on the motherboard, they might be bent if you put them in the wrong way around.
