Question gtx 970 not booting

[Giffi]

My MSI 970 does not boot after replacing thermal paste.
While replacing i used anti static wrist strap and i did on a solid table, we don't have cats, i put paste only little bit and only at the solid core not to the surrounding resistors, just to make things clear.

When trying to boot, at the start the card does not spin its fans, but after few seconds the fans starts to spin at full speed (very loud)
and i do not get a post. PC boots with a another gpu.

I have tried: clearing cmos, checking that psu's cables aren't broken.

I have no idea i should i try next, did the replacement very gently, so gpu should not be broken, i hope.

Before you took of the back plate off did you unplug the side plug, the wire runs along the outer edge. And then once you took of the back plate did you unplug the small white two prong plug that ran from the card to the back plate (inside) ? Double check those two plugs to make sure they are seated correctly.

If you mean the that is at the back and red and black at above, they are connected. the surrounding plastic for the red black cable is little bit broken, can it make the cable not to connect properly? or something. (still not booting)

Look at the first 2:20 mins of this video. You will see the guy unplug the outer plug I am referring to, and once opened you will see the small plug with black red wire and white plug on the inside.

Do you have on board video? You can try using that, and then plug in the gpu to see if the device manager recognizes it. You can use gpuid and see what it tells you about the gpu. If it does then you can try to reflash the bios.

No i don't have, i have fx-8350, would it work if i used other videocard in my first pcie slot and the gtx 970 at the second slot?
i quess i have to find that out myself XD i will post how that went, probably horribly wrong.

update: i was able to flash the bios, didn't help :/
