PC not booting

[bunnypangsai]

I've just changed my cooler to 212 evo a few days ago and when I tried to boot my computer up today, it can't!

(I accidentally yanked out the CPU while changing the cooler... But I don't think that's the case because the pins were not bent? And I was still able to boot up my com after that)

Did you apply any thermal paste?

Reseat your memory modules.

Erm. I did not remove my memory modules but I had to remove all the cables because the new cooler required a new back plate. And yes, I did put thermal paste, the pea method.

Memory modules are very sensitive, a light touch is enough to cause boot problem.

Try reseating the RAM.

Kena the same thing before when I just unscrewed the CPU heatsink fan for cleaning. Even if the thin and flexible mobo bent or move a bit only, and the RAM contact in the slot a bit loose or off, will already cause problem.

Ok. Will do, maybe it's because the 212 evo's fan is just sitting on top of the ram.. I will reseat my ram and then change the fan to the other side of the heatsink..

Reseated the ram modules, changed the position of the fan and it's working now. Thanks!

to the back.. in a "pull" configuration. Initially it was in a push configuration.
