So I have just finished cleaning my PC, took out all the components and removed any dust I could find.

But now my PC won't boot, or even POST.
I have my 2x12 and the 2x2 for the cpu plugged in; tried with and without my graphics card; with only 1 stick of ram and both checked the pins on the cpu for dust/damage.

Mobo is Intel DZ68DB, front panel seems to be working. When i press the power button for the fisrt time after powering on, something happens (think its just the psu's noise changing) - lights blink once when i press the power button for the first time, but that's it, they aren't very visible on my case anyway

Fixed it, no idea how. Either my reset switch is shorted (i haven't bothered putting it back in) or just reinstalling my hardware a couple more times worked.
