i think i have shorted out my motherboard on a new computer I have built. I didn't use any standoffs and I have read online that not using any could short out your motherboard. What should I do?
Will it still work when I put in stand offs?

The computer doesnt boot up, cause when i turn on the computer nothnig is displayed on screen. It might be just the video card, but everytime i turn the computer on, i hear this wierd buzzing sound near the cpu.

Hey there! What makes you think that you shorted it out?? Did it quit working on you or something?? My Dad hasn't ever used standoffs, and I don't think he's ever had a problem..

The only way you will know is put the standoffs only under the holes with grounding strips around them and see if it will boot up.
