After cleaning my CPU nothing shows up in monitor.

[Ephion]

Yesterday I decided to clean the dust out of my PC, but after assembling everything again and turning on my PC the monitor stays in Power Saving Mode, I mean, I don't get the "No Signal" message but the monitor stays black. I went through everything again to be sure everything was plugged correctly and my monitor stays black.

To resume:

- Monitor stays in Power saving mode, so I assume it's getting signal but not images.
- I'm sure my Graphics Card is installed correctly, and I tried removing it and using the integrated card and I got the same result.
- I tried moving the RAM to another slot, no results.
- I have my motherboard connected to a speaker, but I get no beeps.
- All fans turn on and I get HDD sounds, but again no image on my monitor.

Any help is appreciated, and forgive my English please.

When you were cleaning the CPU, did you remove the grey greasy stuff?

I would presume the OP doesn't understand the difference between the PC and the CPU. He probably cleaned up the PC and dislodged a power connector.

That's what I'm hoping.

I think you mean when you were cleaning your PC, not your CPU

How did you clean it? Make sure all cables and cards are fully inserted.

I just used a soft brush to remove the dust, nothing hard. And it seems that you had the problem, I actually don't know what went wrong because I was sure to put everything back on it's place and to fully insert the cables and cards the first time. Then I just opened the case again and unplugged everything and just assembled the PC from scratch, magically worked so I guess I was a cable or something that I didn't touched while disconnecting but maybe I moved it while brushing the dust.

Glad you got it working again.
