I recently built a PC with new and used parts having the RAM and CPU as the only components bought used. But everything starts spinning when I turn it on but the monitor doesn't detect any signal. I tried removing the gpu and connecting the monitor to the motherboard but it still doesn't work.
Additionally, the cpu fan seems to spin on and off again 3 times before spinning continuously. I tried unplugging the RAM and the HDDs and the cpu fan started spinning continuously now but still no signal. Also when I put thermal paste on my cpu, small amounts of thermal paste accidentally dripped on the RAM slots and the cpu socket (not on the pins). I managed to remove some but there are still tiny amounts left. The thermal paste I used is a Deepcool z3, and it claims to be electrically non conductive.
The components I use are:
I5 3330
8gb Crucial UDIMM ddr3l RAM
Asrock h61m vg4
Corsair vs450
Galax GT 1030.
