So my HDD appears to have died. When I went to remove it I noticed that it was time to give my system a nice routine cleaning, with air/alcohol/contact cleaner, as well as reapplying thermal paste. After reassembling it, the system just won't boot. It "powers up" (fans and mb lights), but there's no display or beeping of any kind. It doesn't shutdown by itself either.
I followed many tips without any success. Using only one RAM stick changes nothing. Using no RAM at all does produce the expected beeping, though. I've also tried resetting the CMOS. I checked all connections and tried setting my components again with more care, but nothing happened. I don't have any spare components available for testing. Any ideas?
My system (a couple years old on average):
-Asus Z87-Plus
-i5 4670k, OCed to 4.2GHz
-G.Skill Ripjaws 2x 4Gb 1866Hz
-Gigabyte gtx760 (Windforce)
-2 SSDs, Samsung 840EVO and 850EVO
-Corsair TX650
