So yesterday I noticed that my cpu was running at 42C. I switched out the stock fan with the Hyper 212 Evo.
After properly installing the fan as per the instructions manual, my computer didn't boot. I suspect that it may be because I put just a bit too much thermal paste, which has now leaked off to the sides. It's not very much; mostly it's just the sides of the cpu, but there is a very minute amount on the mount of the processor.
I went to the advice thread; nothing worked. I tried moving my ram, switching the SATA cables, and unplugging and plugging the motherboard, none of which worked. Also, I am 100% sure that I did not turn on the PC without a fan.
The computer turns on, but there is no output to the monitor. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
