After apply some new thermal paste to my CPU, I put everything back in the computer but when I turned it on, it told me it wasn't able to start and now its "checking" windows to find the problem. Using the setup repair. I don't know what to do!

Weird... seems like a software problem not hardware so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Startup repair will fix it... worst case scenario a OS reinstall.

Not sure how changing the CPU TIM made this occur however.... they seem unrelated.

Wow, it just said it was unable to find a problem... I have an option to just boot into windows. Is that a good idea?

Ah sure go for it. Did you shutdown ok? Sometimes a power cut or bad shutdown will cause windows 7 to do this.
