You may have knocked the heatsink or unplugged fan cable.

Remove and reinstall the heatsink, don't forget to clean base and reapply a small amount of thermal paste.

Thanks sir . Will try to get money to get thermal paste . Perhaps i read alot of information about changing the thermal paste . Which type of soft towel should i use?

Or just open your case and check to make sure none of the plugs got knocked out, like das_stig said.

All the plug have been plugged in as new

Arctic Silver or Arctic Cooling MX2

I just use toilet tissue to clear old stuff and then a cotton bud / q-tip and Isopropyl alcohol to ensure nothing left on surfaces.

Coffee Filters work great as a microfiber cloth replacement. I too recommend some Isopropyl alcohol . I recommend against toilet paper because it leaves flakes. I use a dry coffee filter to get the majority of the old paste off, then I wet down a new one with alcohol and buff it clean.

Sorry for necroing this thread didn't check date.
