I am having a problem with my computer it was working great before I did a good cleaning on it, every thing is installed back the way it was but when I installed the memory and started the computer up I get a blank screen the green light on the monitor is just flashing not coming on steady. Nothing has changed other than lack of dust. I have resetted the ram 3 or 4 times and checked all my conections. Any ideas as to what may be causing this problem. everyting worked great before the cleaning.

You might have bumped your video card a little loose in the slot.

You might have killed your ram, possibly static electricity. But also your PSU might be not connected. what's happening and what's not?
