I'm pretty sure it would be ok just plug everything back in and test it, make sure all cables are in place and the power switch is on.

Does anything light up when you turn it on? did you remember to flip the switch on the PSU (I've built 2 computers and I still occasionally forget to do that when I clean my main rig)

There's a possibility but pretty low what happens when you try to boot up?

Remove all but one stick of RAM, then try rebooting. If nothing happens, put in a different stick of RAM and reboot again. Continue until it boots. If it doesn't, remove your CPU and inspect the socket for bent pins.

 

Also, you could try removing the watch battery on the mobo (with the system powered off and de-energized) and then putting it back in and rebooting.

Hmm maybe try testing it in another system to see if that's what causing the issue.

i dont have another system but the fans didn't work when it was in and i dusted the GPU and the GPU slot and test it again and its a no go

 

If you can't see anything physically wrong with it and it was correctly plugged in there is a possibility of static but hard to say without trying it in another system unfortunately.

It's possible.

 

Did you try the different outputs on the GPU?
