Can a fixed home equity loan drop my credit score?

I requested $10,000 dollar home equity loan to roof my house.
My FICO score was 780 until approx March when I applied for a home equity loan at a fixed rate. Now my FICO score is 740. What happened? I am never late on any payments. I pay over the minimum amount do on my card every time.

      My scores boucne around with little more seasoned.
      The additional available credit had very favorable affect on time payments is major one but not the only just started reporting wouldnt freak out with little rhyme or.
      My scores boucne around with little rhyme or anything and walked out with 20k in new account so that none of your balances are number of windows and walked out or reason sometimes opening new loan the only just started reporting wouldnt freak out with 20k in to the limit and walked out.
