Question Pc won’t post after replacing CPU cooling

Hi there!

I’m trying to figure out what could have gone wrong and why my PC won’t do anything. I replaced my thermal paste and swapped out the stock cooler with an NZXT Kraken m 22 and now I can’t get my pc to do anything at all.

When I press my on button for the pc, nothing happens. No fans spinning, lights coming on, nothing. I’ve tested the power supply with a paper clip, and it works fine. So, I re-seated everything to make sure it was in correctly, and tried it again, still nothing. I triple checked to make sure that the front panel connectors are correctly placed

So then, I created a flash bios USB hoping that would fix the problem, and when I hit the flash bios button on the back of the computer, a red light comes on on the , flashes 9 times, then goes to a solid red light that stays on until I unplug the computer.

Hoping someone here can help me fix this problem because all of these parts are under two months old and it was running just fine yesterday before I swapped out the cooler. Please help! Thanks in advance!

Now I’ve attempted to reflash the bios and placed my old CPU cooler in. The same light now flashes 14 times, then doesn’t stay lit. Again, no movement with any of the fans or anything on the board and the power switch still does nothing.
