Pc doesn't start after installing AIO.

[BlackRose]

My new(relatively) pc won't start after i installed an AIO. 

Got my galahad 360 delivered today, was excited to use it. Took out the air cooler i was using before this and got to installing the big girl into my case. And i have to admit it a pain to actually install the block onto the cpu with my fat fingers, so i assume i fucked up somewhere there. Finally was done with that, plugged in the AIO pump connector into the header and one of the fans into the cpu fan header.(the other two went in the hub that comes preinstalled in fractal cases) and thats about all i did. Did some cable management, again i think the fuck up may have been here if i pulled at a cable too hard,but yea, thats it. Then i just put the side panels on. And the mobo lit up(as it does, even when the pc is off as long as it has power) so no red flags there. Pressed the button. Nothing. Nothing else lit up, fans didn't move nothing happend. 

 

Thought this was a front panel issue so i used the button on the mobo. Still nothing, or so i thought. When i press the power button the screen lights up for a second and then turns into a very very faint shade of red like you wouldnt notice it if there were bright lights. 

 

I have no idea what this means. What and where i did something wrong. And how to fix it. Im kinda sacred im not gonna lie. Any help would be appricated.

Remove it and check if there's a leak in the tubing. Seems like a shortage.

How tough? This is my first experience irl with any kind of water cooling. Its all been stock/cheap air coolers till this point

I would take it completely out of the pc and then gently squeeze a tube at a time with 2 fingers. Then look if there's water anywhere on that tube. Repeat this process to check all of the tubing.

It does sound like a short, but I see a few possibilities:

 

1) spilled liquid

2) spilled thermal paste (I guess you renewed that)

3) dead fan on the AIO

4) incorrect mounting of the AIOs block to the motherboard

5) defektive pump

 

3/5) is the easiest to check, just pull the plugs and power on (just not for to long)

All of those make sense except spilled thermal paste. How can that even happen? Yes i renewed it but it was not the cpu was already in the socket when i applied it. I dont undestand how that could affect it. Checked for leakage or water on the system. None that i could see. As for incorrect mounting, i think i did it right and plugged everything in the right place.

Here are some pics.

Did it. No leaks that i could see. Could it be something else?

The thermal paste might be the problem only if it's electrically conductive.

Hey guys. Thanks so much for your help. The pc works now. Turns out it was a simple issue of my 24 pin cable coming loose on the psu side. Fixed that and now it works!
