hi, i recently decided to clean out my computer from dust it has been over a year and a half before since the last time i cleaned it. i always remember to ground myself before taking anything apart. so i do it get all my components out clean them install new thermal paste to everything (cpu, north bridge, and my graphics card). i haven't ever changed the thermal compound. so when i finish i put everything back together. and when i come to turn it on i dont get a post but a click every time i press the power button. i investigate and find out that that clicking is from the psu's fan. it spins for  1/16 of a seconds then it stops.

can you guys help i think i might need to change my psu. maby theres a quick fix i could do with the 20+4 pin mobo wire. any sugesstions will be helpfull

 

my system:

lenovo thinkcenter 8808-9du

cpu: intel core 2 duo e6300 1.86Ghz

ram: 3gb (1+2)

storage: 160 gb 7200rpm wd drive

everything else is stock

Check to make sure the memory is seated properly, and make sure there isn't anything caught between the motherboard and the tray. almost sounds like it's shorting somewhere (which I have seen with having an extra standoff or something wedged in behind.

Did you use a vacuum or a can of compressed air because a vacuum can cause tons of static.
