I have an Asus P5G31 mobo which has been working fine for many years. The fan has been running pretty high recent months so I reconed it was clogged with dust. I disassembled it and there was plenty of dust in the heatsink. I removed the package and cleaned it with a vacuum cleaner. I blow inside the chassie to get out the dust and held the vacuum cleaner over it to suck up the dust. I removed the old thermal compound, smeared new on there and mounted the heatsink.
Now the computer refuses to start. The CPU fan runs but there is no beeps and the screen is blank.
Any suggestions? What to do? May I have ruined the mobo or the CPU?
