Hey Guys,
I took some time to clean out my PC yesterday since it had been around 6-8 months since I cleared out the dust. I cleaned out the dust, but I also reseated the CPU and applied new thermal paste, since I noticed the temperatures were higher than normal recently. I booted up the PC, and everything seemed to work fine, except that the monitor did not display anything, simply a warning message that said no HDMI input from my PC was detected. I began to troubleshoot a bit, thinking I might've ruined a part with static, or something wasn't seated properly. I'll note that EVERYTHING was working fine before I started cleaning. I reseated the GPU, but nothing changed. I thought I applied too much thermal paste, so I wiped the CPU down and reseated it once more. I reset CMOS, but still, nothing is working. I bought new HDMI and DVI cables to see if my monitor wasn't working, but that didn't seem to help. I used another monitor, but the different monitor displayed the same error message. I used different cords too, to no avail. My PC turns on, all of my LED's shine normally, the fans on my GPU spin normally. I get no beeps from my motherboard suggesting something is not seated properly. I read that this could be a CPU issue, as I believe I applied too much thermal paste to begin with. I also read this could be a GPU issue. I do not have any other CPU's, Motherboards, or GPU's I can use to test out.
Here are my specs:
Intel i5-6600K @ 3.5ghz
Asus Sabertooth Z170-S Motherboard
NZXT Kraken X52 CPU Cooler
Galax GTX 1060 6gb
Evga Supernova 650 PSU
Firecuda 2TB SSHD
250gb Samsung 860 EVO SSD
NZXT S340 Elite Case
Thanks!
