Computer not posting

Having a bit of a puzzle over a new build. So i swapped my case and cpu cooler for some new goodness.

Turned the PC on and the fans spin up but no signal is sent to the monitor. I checked the cpu was powered and it seems fine. What could be the causes of this?

I got a bit of thermal paste on the top of the cpu where there is some gold circle but cleaned it off. Would that cause problems.

yea checked the cpu power was connected. I have checked the memory as well. I am going to take it out tomorrow and reseat all the power cables to make sure they are going.

I got a corsair h100i cooler so i might try the old one tomorrow. Ordered a motherboard to check if it is a faulty board or cpu. Will DSR it back after checking.

Going to try a cmos reset, see if thats the problem

ok will give those 2 ideas a go.

To be cleaer everything starts up but no signal is sent to the monitor so it stays in hibernation.
