There should be a prong that you bend back, and it should pop out on it's own.

What's wrong with it?

 

If you bend it back all the way, it should pop out.

It might take some prying.

A small flathead screwdriver should also work.

Incorrect thermal paste application shouldn't stop a system from booting.

i know. it would take maybe 5 min to overheat and shut itself down. not 30 seconds. and when i turn it on and i put my hand over the heatsink i couldn't feel any warm air coming from it.

could be the heatsink not seated properly. would the hard drives not being funtional be a problem? the system doesnt detect them. at least the main one it detects the ssd sometimes

Power supply sounds like more of a problem, or faulty RAM.

 

I'm waiting on making a decision on the RAM until I hear the results from a different PSU.

We got it to work. Thank you. It wasnt the psu. I didnt put enough thermal paste on. Well thats what happens whne its your first time doing that
