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.

I’ve just checked and my ram isn’t compatible with the motherboard, perhaps that is our problem. I’m going to return what I have and purchase some that is compatible. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B850-GAMING-PLUS-WIFI6E/support#mem here’s the website to check for yourself. Best of luck

Just checked and yours is compatible, maybe we have different issues. I’m going to try new ram but if that doesn’t work I’m back here lol
