I was playing a game on my ~2 year old pc (First one ive built, and has some minor quirks every once in a while) and noticed that my fans have been getting louder recently, so i decided to unplug everything, open it up, and dust everything off. My pc seems to collect dust pretty fast, so I have done this a few times before with no issuessnd noticed less noise. I simply wiped all of the dust that collected on my fans and gpu with a rag. The only thing I really messed with was my graphics card; I took it out to dust it off without bumping anything, and then reseated it. I plugged everything back in and now my monitors, keyboard, and mouse dont turn on. I dont understand what I could have screwed up to cause this specific problem. The motherboard, cpu, and graphics card still light up and my fans + water cooling still work.
Specs:
Strix z270e Motherboard
Geforce gtx 1070
Processor: i7-7700k
Samsung 970 Evo+ SSD (boot drive)
EVGA 600W Power Supply
Main monitor: Asus Vg248qe
Things I've tried:
Unplugging the power, waiting, then plugging back in
Resetting RAM by pressing the power button for 20 seconds while unplugged, then powering on
Trying different combinations of ram (0 sticks, 1 stick, 2 sticks,different slots)
Made sure I didnt get a bunch of dust in any slots
Made sure everything was plugged in adequately
Reseating ram and gpu multiple times
Taking the CMOS battery out and putting it back in
Reseating my SSD
And probably a few other things, but I can't really remember at this point
Any help is appreciated, and also I apologize if anything was confusing or if I left anything out; Ive been at this for hours and no solutions other people found have worked for me.
