I'm in a bit of a bind and could use some help. I recently installed a new NVMe SSD in my PC, but had a tough time getting my GPU out and may have hit the motherboard a few times with my screwdriver while trying to unlock it. Now, after reassembling everything, I'm seeing no display on my monitor, and my case fans are running at full blast. I've tried holding the power button to reset it, but I can only turn it off by unplugging it from the outlet.
Here's what I've attempted so far:
1. Reseated both my old and new SSD.
2. Reseated the GPU.
3. Removed the CMOS battery and put it back.
4. Reseated the RAM.
5. Booted without the new SSD.
Unfortunately, nothing has worked. I suspect the issue might be with the motherboard since I hit it pretty hard, but I can't see any visible damage. I also wonder if I might have broken the GPU, although I don't really think that's likely. I don't have another PC to test the GPU, and my CPU doesn't support integrated graphics. Any suggestions would be immensely appreciated! Here are my specs: Ryzen 5700x, Radeon Sapphire Pure 7700xt, Asrock B550M Pro SE AM4, and Adata XPG 32GB DDR4 RAM at 3200MHz.

No display and GPU fans running at full speed? That’s a common issue! In my experience, it often helps to check the power supply to the GPU. If you’re using a 12VHPWR connection, make sure it’s properly connected.
I'd suggest waiting for a full hour after powering it on. Ryzen CPUs can take a bit longer for memory training, so this could potentially resolve the issue.
Have you tried just letting it run for a while? Sometimes these things need a little time to sort themselves out. Also, if you could send some pictures of the motherboard, it might help; sometimes there are hidden damages that aren't immediately visible.
Thanks for the responses! I’m currently letting my PC run to see if it boots normally after an hour.
