I recently bought a Mini ITX PC, and while I got it set up without too much trouble, I encountered a problem when I was checking the CPU temperatures. I noticed that the CPU was running quite hot, so I opened the case to inspect the cooler. After checking it, I reseated it and made sure it was securely attached. However, now when I plug the PC back in, it powers on, the keyboard works, but there's no display at all. I've double-checked that my HDMI isn't connected to the motherboard, removed and reinserted the RAM, reset the CMOS, and power cycled several times. I'm really stressed out since this is my first PC, and I'm not sure if it's something I did wrong or if there's a deeper issue.

What components are you using? Also, what temps did you notice? If you loosened or removed the CPU cooler brackets, that could be an issue. Sometimes they need to be properly secured to avoid overheating and display problems.
I have a Ryzen 5800X and a 4060 8GB, and the temps were reaching about 90-92°C under 60-70% load.
