i just finished builing my new pc today, went to boot it up and all that happened was lights around my ethernet cable and lights on top of my gpu (i have no rgb other than my graphics car and the light on my graphics card was not the rgb it was just a white light on top) i am upgrading the system (upgrading graphics card case and power supply) and the thermal paste is quite old i was wondering if the thermal paste has anything to do with it.

Old thermal paste wouldn't cause a non-boot, but of course might not provide optimal temps.

What exactly is or is not happening? You press the power button and just nothing? Is the front panel headers properly plugged in, all power cables inside the system okay?

Thermal paste wouldn't have anything to do with it.

 

None of the fans spin? That indicates the mobo isn't getting proper power. You would expect the fans to at least spin.

 

Make sure all cables are clicked in all the way?

 

If you upgraded the PSU, it could be bad. Swap your old GPU and PSU back in (I assume your old PSU isn't enough for your new GPU? If that is not the case, use the new GPU, try and narrow down to a single issue, don't change multiple things at once unless you have to run the old GPU for power draw requirements)
