So my story started less than a week ago!,i cleaned out my heat sink and when i stupidly turned it on without placing on new thermal compound i was getting temperatures at about 90 Degrees on my CPU *it still had the thermal compound though*,so i quickly turned it off!,then i let the motherboard and psu sit on my glass desk for about 4 days as i searched for thermal paste!,today i got some,i cleaned out my CPU and heatsink with high percentage alcohol!,then i put on some new thermal compound i put a bit but my i7 CPU is large!.

i get two red lights on my motherboard near the CPU,a full spin of fans! and no image on my screen!?
i am not even getting a successful post beep
i havent overclocked,i havent messed with BIOS,but i have this CPU for about 4/5 years and it never did this

my Step up is
i7 920
Dx58so
6GB Ram
Gtx 260
Cx600 non M
500GB of hard drive!

can you please help me out ? this is very sad as i am placing order for a upgrade and i would hate for having to include a CPU and motherboard aswell :/
