Hey everyone, I need help with an issue I'm having after replacing the thermal paste on both my CPU and GPU. After I reconnected everything, my BIOS started beeping with one long and two short beeps, and my monitor remained blank. Interestingly, when I pressed on the video card, it briefly worked, but then it stopped again. Any ideas on what might be wrong?

It could be that you installed the GPU crooked or didn't secure the heatsink tightly enough. If pressing on the card temporarily fixes it, then something may be interfering with the connection. Ensure nothing is blocking the GPU, particularly if your card has vents that might be hitting the case.
It sounds like your GPU might not be seated properly in the motherboard. Try removing it and plugging your monitor into any onboard graphics you might have. If that's not an option, reseat the GPU again, ensuring it's secured correctly. You can also check your motherboard's manual for what the beep codes mean, as they can help diagnose the issue.
