SOLVED, THANK YOU - HELP! New case and AIO now PC won’t stay on

Hi all, not a new PC gamer but definitely new to hardware upgrading!
I got a new case (Corsair 4000D) and a Corsair 3 fan AIO cooler which I upgraded today.
After plugging it all back in, I turned on the PC and within seconds the PC shutdown. I can’t get it to stay on and one of the times a got a blue screen with an unhappy face and an error - WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR.
Any help really would be appreciated on what to try first!

Thank you

Boot into BIOS and check CPU temperatures

Thank you both. I had removed the plastic and it even came with its own thermal paste! I booted and immediately checked temps and saw the pump wasn’t working and temps were hitting 115c!
I double checked the AIO connections and all good now! Thanks for such quick responses!
