Hey everyone....I took the cpu fan out to clean it, it was really dusty, and when i put it back and turned on the pc, everything would work, but the monitor didnt show any image. Its not a monitor or video problem, I'm sure...I think its a processor problem, when i pushed the cilinders on the motherboard(which i dont know what is called), and turned on the computer it worked normally. But i rebooted it, and it wouldnt turn back on just like before, i tryed pushing the cilinders again, i bunch of times....wat should i do?

By cilinders i think you are refering to electrolitic capacitators. It's posible you knok one when you removed/attached the heat sink. Check them all and make sure you didn't broke any connection, if you did you will need to take the mobo to an electronic repair shop and have the capacitor replaced.
Also reseat the videocard and memory, you could of knoked them out of their sockets too...
