Moved everything from my CIT Vantage to the NZXT H440, and since then it refuses to boot. For a very brief moment, the LEDs around the case will turn on, for around 0.25 seconds, but then everything goes again. I have an inkling the problem might be something to do with the processor. I bought a new cooler (Hyper 212 evo) because my FX-8350 was starting to overheat, and when I installed it I had to use a lot of pressure (which was stated on the guide I used). Any advice to help me get it working?
 
Solution
Moving to a new case, and now it doesn't work, leads to the primary supposition that something is not connected properly.

Redo it.

It appears there is a very faint buzz when I turn it on as well.

Also, when I take out the CPU, the exact same happens. Could I have possibly damaged the CPU?

However, it is highly recommended to NOT do that in an ongoing thread. Let the OP select, unless it is a long dead thread, or something is blatantly, obviously incorrect.

Thought I selected as best answer immediately after I solved it. Plugged the 4-pin processor plug in an incorrect rotation (not sure how I did that, certain they're supposed to be idiot-proof). Thank you
