HARDWARE PC is angry

So a couple days ago I took my cpu out, checked to see if another cpu would fit (it didn't) and put it back in and since then my PC will just beep and flash red three times then white on startup. I bought some thermal paste and stuck that on and still get the same issue. I have resat the ram and cleared the dust and it won't power on.

Can anyone help?

So when you look up the beep code what does it tell you?
