After replacing it in computer i bootup but i know its booting but the monitor says no signsl, the led blue light just flashes. I have in stalled a new graphic card and i have a new monitor so it cant be them thats causing the problem. I would appreciate help urgently as i need to do a lot of work on my pc.

of course you cant ,posting way to early in the morning ,lol
so you just bought the new video card yesterday ,did the new card work before you cleaned the psu ,if yes ,try removing and re-seating the video card into its slot

Yes the card worked perfectly.

any chance the card has a power plug that got unplugged ,when you took ot the psu to clean it

im lost ,removing a power supply from a tower to clean it should not make this happen to a computer ,i have cleaned hundreds of them .and only remember this one ,maybe because it only happened a few mnts ago , ,i cleaned one with can air and when i plugged it back in and it popped something inside and needed to be replaced ,
maybe the psu is bad,got another to try

Just got the problem sorted. It was a faulty psu. Just bought a new 1 and everything fine.
Thanks for your help
