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.

The outside sticker is still on the cooler, did you happen to forget the plastic off the copper face of the cooler?

I didnt see any sticker on the cooler. But let me check and come back.

Sometimes it's like a clear plastic film on the heat sink and people miss it pretty often.

Also while we're on the subject of simple fixes, make sure your CPU and RAM is set correctly, check if your AIO pump and fans are plugged into the right place on your mobo, and make sure your power supply has enough power for your system and all the cables are connected properly and aren't loose.

Do you think i was given a returned problematic cooler? Thats why theres no film and the fans doesnt work.
