PC won’t boot

[milkorchestraofrussia]

I reapplied my thermal paste and when I went to boot my computer it’ll turn on, but I don’t have any display. Since the thermal paste I used was coollavatory liquid pro I thought that maybe I short circuited the motherboard but I couldn’t find any residue or broken/bended pins on the socket. I didn’t delid the cpu. The post ids went red and stayed yellow. I get the dram yellow led everything unless I put the stick in the second one away from the cpu and the cycles red and yellow but neither stay and I don’t get any other led on. Both sticks work in that slot but get the yellow light on any other. Even without the yellow led I still do not get any display. I have tried 3 different monitors on the graphics card and two different monitors with inboard graphics.

Oh that's liquid metal. If it has overflown, you probably shprt circuited your motherboard, which can possibly fry some of your other components as well.

I suggest replacing your motherboard and start from there.

If it didn't overflow than your components should be fine. It's probably that the heat sink wasn't re-mounted properly.
