Computer wont boot, CPU problem

[glitchinthemind]

Today I dusted my computer for the first time in a while and decided to go ahead and reapply thermal compound where needed (CPU and north bridge). I put everything back in, turned it on, and nothing shows up on the monitor. The internal speaker beeps instead, 5 times, then 2 then 2 then 2 then stops. No clue why.

Thats called a beep code, it will tell you what it means in the motherboard manual

Check everything again,make sure everything is plugged in(monitor,cpu fan etc.) and make sure your memory is in all the way(take out and put back in)

5 beeps is CPU/Motherboard related. 2 beeps is Memory related.

Unfortunately my money is on electrostatic discharge in this case.
