So I decided to replace the thermal paste to my Ryzen cpu with the Artic Silver paste. I powered off the PC as usual, took parts out, and cleaned CPU and cooler. Then put the CPU back in and put some paste on and reset the cooler. PC isnt booting now.
All it does is make a electric kind of noise and the light in my room dims as usual, which means its drawing power. But no fans are spinning, no lights are on, and there's no beeping. So took cooler off and cleaned CPU and cooler again and tried just the CPU and still the same result. Really at a loss because I did everything cautiously and how I usually do it and the system just isnt starting. I can tell its drawing power but that's it. It's almost like the PC wants to start but some kind it protective feature or something is preventing it from booting.
