I recently replaced the GPU thermal paste, but the GPU isn't showing up on my monitor and the fan is making a lot of noise when I power on the PC. After taking everything apart and reassembling, I discovered the issue was with the GPU itself. I cleaned everything, checked the cables, but nothing worked. I accidentally took off the thermal pad during installation, though I reattached it later—maybe that’s what caused the problem? I used Antec Mx4 paste. Updated February 16, 2023 by Divyansh19132000

It might have been an accident.

Thermal Paste leakage is possible; I'll return later to attempt cleaning.

They don't conduct electricity in most situations.

Certainly, it's possible even in that situation.
