Black Screen After Cooler Install

[CaughtLacking]

Hi I just installed a new cooler and then when I finished I went to turn on my pc and then the system was on but all I saw and then there was a black screen and then right after I went to turn it off and the heat sink was really hot.
The cooler that I put in is an Evo hyper 212

what cpu/mobo

did you install the back plate correctly?

Make sure you use the correct Stand-Offs; 212-EVO has two sets!

Ensure that the backplate is correctly aligned and flash; and that those main bolts are tight (but not-over tight).

Did u use too little or too much thermal paste?

And the securing screws the hold the cooling in-place from the CPU-side, those are meant to go down til they stop, u can't over-tighten those.

Re-seat your RAM too, it's quite common to bump that when installing large coolers.

it should only include 1 set of standoffs
similar install for amd and intel
do not peal off the 'stickers' on the backplate and standoffs (they are to protect the mobo)

1. remove the stock cooler
2. if amd remove the stock amd retetnsion brackets
3. place a standoff thru the front of the mobo
4. install the backplate thru the standoff so the rest of the holes allign and tighten with a nut
5. repeat for the other 3 holes
6. tighten them with the included socket
7. apply a pea sized dot of thermal paste to the center of the cpu
8. install the cpu cooler in the correct orientation
9. place the x-bracket thru the cpu cooler so it alligns with the holes in the stanfoffs
10. lightly tighten them down, then secure them all the way down
11. install the fan and plug it in

Ok, the problem was that I put a little to much thermal paste but now the problem is that when I turn on my pc it turns on fine but the only thing that is happening is that when I plug in my hdmi cable in my monitor it says there is "no signal" and then the keyboard and mouse do not respond

The Display/Cable should be plugged into the GPU prior to system bootup; and if the Display has multiple HDMI (like an HDTV usually do) ensure that the TV/Monitor is switched to the correct Input # or type.

Then power on the system.

If the system has two GPUs; like for example; Onboard Intel GPU (via any video output on the back of the Motherboard) and a dedicated GPU (AMD/NVIDIA) then ensure the Display gets connected to your dedicated GPU and not the Motherboard. Again, prior to powering on the system.

If the system fails to POST to BIOS screen; then u need to recheck all Cables, maybe also re-seat the GPU/RAM. If the GPU/RAM are not seated correctly/fully or you didn't re-attach a required power connector somewhere, most liking the system is going to fail to POST normally.

So how did it go?
