hi everyone, im building my new pc and it seems to work but ive been running into a problem where sometimes my monitor doesnt recognize it when it turns on, and this keeps going on unless i reseat the cpu. the fans and lights run fine

i thought at first this is because it's a mini itx build and some parts were pushing against my RAM and knocking it out of place (cpu cooler and 24 pin motherboard cable from my psu) i switched to a smaller cooler and moved the cable away as much as i could and it is displaying now, but it stops if i turn the pc off and try to turn on again and it wont come back on unless i reseat the cpu again

if it helps my parts are
cpu: ryzen 5 3600
mobo: asus rog strix b550-i
ssd/main hard drive : samsung 970 evo 1tb
ram: patriot viper steel ddr4 2x8gb
graphics card: visiontek radeon rx 5700 8gb
psu: be quiet! bn639 sfx 600w
cooler: nzxt kraken x53
case: nzxt h210

could anyone help me fix this and find out what im doing wrong?

What cooler are you using and what temp readings are you getting? And I have to ask the obvious, when you reseat the cpu and fan, are you cleaning the cpu and applying new thermal paste each time?
Im using a NZXT Kraken x53, idle temps from 35C to 40C , and thanks for stating the obvious, no I haven't been cleaning and applying new thermal paste, I'll try that next if it happens again thank you!
