Reapplied thermal paste, now PC won't display anything

[RickyWars1]

I applied new thermal paste, because I learned that I put too much the first time, but now my system will not show a display. I have tried many, many things. I do not have a system speaker, so I cannot say anything about beeps. By the way, the system does power up, fans spin and driver checks itself.

I have checked my GPU by trying it in a different slot and by using it in another system

I have made sure everything is plugged in

I have checked all the screws

I have reset CMOS

I have tried different monitors

I have cleaned the CPU and reapplied a few times

I have checked all the screws and made sure everything is screwed in

I made sure I did not get CPU on the board or the CPU

I have left everything unplugged for 10 minutes

I have reseated all the wires

I have checked the pins to make sure they aren't bent

Nothing is touching the bare metal of my case

CPU: 8350

CPU Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo

Motherboard: AsRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0

GPU: Asus 280x

PSU: Antec High Current Gamer 620w
