I just blew out my PC with my air compressor because it was getting pretty dusty and it was overheating and was shutting off by itself. First i turned the computer off, and then removed my gpu. i blew it out with the air compressor and continued to the rest of the pc. when i placed the gpu back in my PC, and connected all the cables properly, my monitor would not turn on after booting like usual. Rig is about 4 months old. (could it be a bad powersupply?) (The monitors power button glows orange like usual, but when i turn in on the screen said "No signal."

If you didn't make sure to turn your monitor off before you disconnected the cable it you could have shorted your monitor. I inadvertently did this to a Dell 3007WFP-HC 30" years ago, but it was under warranty.

just checked all the cables and they ran fine on my friends monitor. and im in the process of checking my other monitor to see if it works. Thank you for the quick response
Ill try a new power supply, and see if that works.
The graphics card runs fine in the other computer.

Power supply didnt work either. Im going to try to see if my cpu works with another computer

I have been hot plugging both VGA and later DVI since I was 12. I have never seen this happen.
I noticed that the mobo dosent beep either, on startup. Im starting to think its a dead motherboard. I have taken eveything out of the mother board and still no beep on start up. i did a ram check as well.

Well I've had the unfortunate opportunity to have it happen to me, and that's exactly what caused the monitor to go out. It is something that can happen.

Well then it's more than a monitor issue. Did you test the monitor on a different machine?

No but i grabbed a different monitor and it did the same thing. lights turn on at boot, but it displays no signal.
An air compressor has water in it no much but that could cause it possibly. unless your talking about the can thing.

a small amount of water probably won't do it considering that most computers can operate at high humidity

If there is not a dryer on the air line it can have a lot of water in it. It actually can come out as water and not humidity. When you compress the air in the tank, it condenses the water. For that reason, I always use canned air just to make sure.
To check the water in the compressor, just blow the air on your hand. After a few seconds, is there any moisture on your hand?
Does your mobo have an integrated display output? you should try booting up using that in the first place with no GPU in. Maybe it's the PCIE port that failed and not the entire board.
Does it POST correctly?.
I properly ruined something while you cleaned it :P
I'd make sure dust didn't get into your PCI slots.
I tried cross checking my cpu's and my mother board doesn't post. When i put my cpu in another computer it did the same thing, so im guessing that my processor is dead.
after taking my cpu fan off, i noticed that there was little to no gel on my fan or processor. After taking the processor out and inspecting the pins, some were bent. So my guess is that when i took my CPU fan off, i damaged my processor.
And no the Air compressor did not have water in the lines, i always air the lines out first before i blow out my computer.
I think you got a very nasty infection of Makol.
