Problem after replacing sound card

Had to get a new sound card due to upgrading to wimdows 8 and driver issues.

The old sound card is sandwiched between 2 gpus that are watercooled and it was a total ballache to get out!!! In the end, I had to rag the thing out instead of dismantling my loop etc considering I put it in fine in the first place.

The computer now will just shut off when trying to load into windows. However, its not all the time, 15% of the time I can get into windows. I think ive damaged the motherboard in the process, but cant see any scoring on the motherboard. Ive tried different ram, hdd and gpus without avail. Last thing is to try I guess in the psu.

Anyone shred some light?

Thanks, Ben.

Ill have to check but I think they are all the way in their slots but will double check!

Worst comes to the worst, be upgrade time, but always on it 24/7! If it is the mobo, then its lasted a good 5 years, and will have to upgrade just after christmas!
