So I recently built a custom computer, and everything was working perfectly fine. I finished it around Thanksgiving, and I even used it yesterday. I shut it down after I was done last night. However, when I went to use it tonight, it won't power up anymore.
Here is my build:
Motherboard: ASUS ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-PRO (Wi-Fi AC)
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz) (BX80646I74790K)
RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 1600MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM - Blue (HX316C10FK2/16)
GPU:EVGA EVGA GTX980 Superclocked ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5 256bit, DVI-I, DP x 3, HDMI, SLI Ready Graphics Card Graphics Cards 04G-P4-2983-KR
Case: Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01 Mid Tower Gaming Case CC-9011050-WW
CPU Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2)
I unscrewed the CPU Fan to see if there was anything wrong, and I noticed I forgot to peel off a protective plastic part on the bottom of the heatsink, and I'm now worried that when I forgot to remove it, during the time I had my PC on, it fried either the motherboard or the CPU. Help please, this computer was built for my senior project, and it won't turn on anymore, and I have absolutely no clue whats wrong. Power is getting to the motherboard, because I can see the power button on the motherboard lighting up, other than that, I have no clue. Please help. The plastic sticker that was on the bottom of the heatsink isn't melted at all.
Thanks.
UPDATE: I removed the heatsink and removed the sticker that was on the bottom of it. I reapplied thermal paste, and remounted everything. Still no response from the system. Obviously the motherboard is getting some power, because the LED on the powerbutton on the motherboard is working, but I'm still getting no response. I never unplugged any cables or anything, so I don't think that would be it since I was just using it yesterday.
