After trying to insert an expansion card and changing the thermal paste my PC won't post, the fans spin incessantly and the power button turns blue, no beeps, the monitor is on.

What expansion card? Is it still inserted? Does it work if you remove it?– gronostajFeb 20, 2017 at 17:20

I think it may be the CPU, I just changed the thermal paste, how can I be sure it was that?– TeivelFeb 20, 2017 at 17:26

Try to re-seat it and visually inspect it for any obvious damage. Also take a closer look at the socket, some pins may be bent. Unplug and re-plug all PSU cables.– gronostajFeb 20, 2017 at 17:27

After taking it the HDD I was taking it the CPU fan to see if the pins had a problem when I realized that the RAM wasn't properly connected.
Then I had to take out and reconnect one of the sticks and now it's working properly.
