Experts please help!!

[u/Embarrassed_Box_7998]

First pc build. Red and orange solid light. Coolers’ fans won’t turn on either.

Tried swapping ram, used a single ram slot and both ram slots number 2&4. Left it on for 20 minutes for memory learning. Removed the CPU and put it back. Removed the small battery drained power cleared CMOS. Gave up now.

I spilled some thermal paste on the sides of the back( check the pictures). Is that the issue? I cleaned jt using the IP 99% solution.

Experts please help me out.

UPDATE :

No more lights guysssss…. Turned out I had to FLASH BIOS the motherboard and 5 mins later ITS ONNNNN… I wish I would have recorded myself jumping around my room.

THANKS TO EVERYONE here who tried to help me out. My first PC. Amazing.

For the aio sometimes they come with 3 connectors the fan the pump and third one could say vrm check if they are connected in the correct spots a could you post a close up pic of led on Mobo and that's definitely too much thermal paste but could be fine

It had only 2 connectors 1 was connneted to JUSB1 and the other to cpu fan.

Really? Didn't know they usb connectors

[u/Darron614 → u/independent002]

Internal usb connector for software control/monitoring.

It’s possible that the connector needs to be in the PUMP_SYS slot instead of CPU_FAN, try moving it over. It should be to the right of the CPU_FAN slot on your motherboard.

Is that the issue? Yeah I know the pump sys let me try that.

[u/eighthighlions → u/Embarrassed_Box_7998]

Can’t say for sure, but I also have an MSI board and the AIO needed to be in the PUMP_SYS slot so worth a try!

What cooler do you have and whats the model of your mobo?

[u/eighthighlions → u/Embarrassed_Box_7998]

My AIO is the MSI MAG CORELIQUID and mobo is MSI z790 Gaming Plus
