If the thermal paste is on top of the CPU and on the bottom of the heatsync then you got it on the right places, so what's the worrying about? :S If they're the only two places that you got the thermal paste on then the paste isnt the problem. QFE on apj101, does the fan spin? Is the heatsync fan spinning around fine? Do you see anything on the screen when you first switch it on like the bios version etc? Have you checked the graphics card is in place properly? Is the monitor plugged into the card socket properly? Have you bent any of the pins in the monitor connector?

You need to answer all questions for us to help
