I opened up my PC, figured i replaced the thermal on the cpu. I used a dielectric contact cleaner to remove the old stuff. I did this in the past with no issues on my old 775 but now the thing wont boot!! Might i have killed it?? Note that it was a compressed can of cleaner i used and it's a haswell.. :(

Did you got any on the underside of the CPU? And are you sure the CPU is placed correctly?

Did you actually remove the CPU from the socket during this process?

Did you unplug anything? Make sure everything is plugged in correctly. Also, do the fans spin up for a second and shut off? We need more information.
