I built a computer about a week ago for the first time. I have the following parts:
MB: asus m5a97
Cpu: amd am3 3.5ghz 6 core
Cpu cooler: corsair h80i
Ram: 8gb 2x4gb
GPU: his r9 270x 2gb
Hdd: seagate barracuda 1tb
Ssd: corsair neutron 128gb
Psu: gigabyte 80plus bronze 650w
Case: bitfenix colossus
At the time I built this PC a few weeks ago, I didn't know how to install the liquid cooling with the h80i so I decided to wait for my friend to get back from vacation because he's an IT guy, so I just installed the stock AMD fan instead. After completing the build it worked 100% fine. I played on it for about 2 weeks and then last night my friend got back and walked me through on how to install the H80i through the phone. I believe I installed everything correctly. I took the stock fan off. Took out the CPU, cleaned the thermal paste off with rubbing alcohol, put it back in, latched it in, then installed the cooler. I started up my computer and everything seemed fine, all my leds were working, all fans were spinning, even the corsair logo on the cooler ontop of the CPU lights up. But after I boot it up my monitor goes to the acer screen like usual then the energy star logo, then it just falls asleep, I move the mouse and everything but it doesn't do anything. The power button on my computer just keeps blinking and I can't use the computer. I'm so confused because everything else seems to be fine, even all the fans are spinning. I would really appreciate some help
this is frustrating
Thanks!
