I've just moved my rig from one case to another and installed a Vantage cooler. When I power up the system, I get no input to the monitor and no POST beep, apart from that everything seems to run fine- fans, HDD, RAM LEDs, graphics card fan, USB devices etc. What do I do?
 
Havnt had time to do that, but I may try tomorrow, but I would have thought it would automatically power down if it was a short.
 
Must be motherboard related? Vantage shows a temp increase on CPU and everything else seems to work fine, though I have noticed that the USB provides power but no data connection. Shorly if I have fried the motherboard it wouldn't work at all though?

Not necessarily. It's possible to fry part of the motherboard and still have other bits of it work.

Is it possible you got some thermal paste somewhere it shouldn't be when you installed the cooler?
 
The thermal paste is pre applied so that's not possible. The graphics card even lights and spins up so I don't think it is that...
