Its not everyones jam to jump into the CPU delidding process.
It takes experience and courage to execute it correctly.
Advanced users, however, perform this complex process to achieve the finest thermal output.
But things can go south pretty quickly, despite how carefully you carry out the procedure.
Why PC Not Working After CPU Delid?
See, when you manually delid the processor, there exist huge risk factors.
Especially when using a razer blade to take off the lid, A.K.A the IHS.
For sure, you will replace the stock thermal compound between the die and the IHS.
And liquid metal is the best TIM that you might apply.
When applying LM to the die, being super careful is a must.
And that will cause the PC not to turn on or respond.
Besides, if any liquid metal residue is left on the PCB it may yield the same unfortunate result.

They are cramped in a tight space!
Well, take a sharp, rigid object such as a needle or paper clip.
Gently push the pins back to their places with it.
Clear CMOS and Update BIOS
Sometimes,clearing the CMOSfixes CPU issues.
Simply, take out the motherboards battery for 510 minutes and then put it back in.
give a shot to turn on your PC and look to see if it works.Still not working?
you oughta walk a bit extra then.
On that note, if your motherboard comes with dual BIOS, try switching to the backup BIOS.
That is, re-delid your processor.
Only to verify whether any accidental liquid metal is present on the PCB.
Re-attach all the components and see whether your PC is functional again.
