Question Boot Issues with HP Omen Obelisk after installing Liquid Cooling and New Ram

[alexmasonhardy]

Any help would be appreciated!

Have you tried pulling the new ram and see if it boots up/acts correctly?

You would need at least one stick of ram in. Since the only other new thing introduced to your pc since the problem started is the cooler, try backing off the screws a little bit on the cooling plate on the cpu. Sometimes screwing the cooling plate down too much on the cpu causes the cpu to short itself. Try easing it back a bit and see if it will boot up. Or if you want to try with it removed to see if it will boot up. But of course you will have to reapply the paste and put it back together.

That was my next point of call to do tonight - i've been very conscious not to overtighten the screws when fitting the cooler as instructed on the Manual. Annoying i will have to take off but oh well! After this step and putting everything back to stock and if it's still not working - is there anything further you would recommend? (ie looking at Bios etc?)

You can go in to bios, under exit menu, reset bios to default settings. Save and reset see if that changes anything.

Everything in my opinion was fitted fine (the liquid cpu is a recommended upgrade for the HP Omen

Recommended......by who?

After re reading your post 10 times, it occurs to me did you connect the cooler to the cpu fan header?
