Surely, if it was working prior to you cleaning the GPU, there shouldn't be a problem.
Have you connected the motherboard power 20+4 pin connector? Near your RAM sticks/modules slots.
Are your RAM modules fully inserted, normally they need a bit of force and they click into position. Normally that's my issue but mastered the art better now.
Did you re-connect the CPU power socket? (4 pin) Also sure it is entered on the right side/angle, with clip matching the same side. Also has this been done for your GPU since cleaning the extra paste? Soo many cables, sometimes it easy just to forget one.
Or the last thing may be that you need to remove the GPU and use the onboard video chipset, so you can enter the BIOS (hopefully once POST) under advanced settings and check that is enabled to show video via your extension card output (e.g PCI Express) when detected. May have been the case if you removed the CMOS battery.
Hope this helps.
P.S I am assuming you cleaned the components using appropriate methods and not a standard dust cloth.
