If you require assistance from others, please supply additional details.
- Do the fans activate?
- Are there any lights that illuminate?
- Does the computer access the BIOS?
- Was it functioning before? What happened next?
- Including the power supply is crucial, particularly in such circumstances.
Turn on the PC for a few beeps before shutting it down.
Yes, there are lights.
No, the backstory explains I disconnected my fans from the radiator, cleaned them, reconnected, replaced the thermal paste on the CPU, and then tried to open the PC when the beeps started.

I have some ideas from what you said.
Unplug the PC from the power source or wall outlet. Press the power button a few times and then reconnect it. Try to turn it on.
Ensure your CPU fan is linked to the CPU fan header. Reinsert the RAM and consult the MOBO manual (available online) to verify the correct installation.
Consider removing the 1060 and see if the PC boots and remains active.
Count how many times the motherboard beeps. Check for any ERROR LEDs on the motherboard. Some MOBO models display indicators like CPU, VGA, RAM, PSU, etc.
Hello, I attempted all steps but received 4 long beeps followed by a single short one. The red light on the bottom right of the motherboard is now active.
It seems this might be the expected result. The beep code often signals a RAM issue. Did they install it completely when you reinserted them? You should have heard two distinct clicks. Your RAM might simply be faulty. Do you have any spare RAM available? You could test one stick at a time to see if it works.
