Question Pc wont boot after cpu clean

[bluebudgie]

I removed my cpu cooler and cpu, cleaned up the dust and the dried of paste with wd40 (didn't have alcohol swabs) and got them both back with thermal paste. When I turn on the pc, red light flashes and then dram led goes yellow. Tried sticking in the ram sticks in different slots and nothing. Please help!
Specs:
i57500, Rx6600, 8x2 Ram from different manufacturers but same speed, 450w

So look with a magnifying glass at your cpu pins to make sure none of them were bent in the process. Make sure no thermal paste or WD 40 was introduced to cpu pins or cpu socket.

WD40 on electronics...especially electrical contacts...is pretty far from ideal. WD-40 dries out to a gummy mess that attracts and holds dust very badly. I'd strongly suggest getting a can of electrical contact cleaner and spray-cleaning around the area of the CPU socket to make certain all the WD 40 is washed away.
