I had an all-in-one liquid cpu cooler leak coolant all over my PC last week, luckily it shut down from overheating when there was no coolant left in the loop. I disassembled my PC, cleaned everything with alcohol and let it dry. Then i bought an air cooler and installed it. After installing the air cooler, for a day my PC was fine, but the next day I started having system hangs where the screen would fragment, sound would loop, but didn't blue screen. It would be stable for about half a day then just today when it happened I got a blue screen.
I then got stuck in a boot loop where I couldn't even post or access my bios. I thought that my cooler may not be making sufficient contact, so I removed the cooler, cleaned the cpu+cooler with alcohol, reapplied some arctic 5, then re-installed it.
I was still stuck in a boot loop that only broke when I pulled the CMOS battery and reset the bios. After doing this, I got several hang ups that gave me my first attached BSOD.
I tried restoring to a point set right after I installed the air cooler the first time and got a irql not less or equal to bsod.
I then decided to delete my RAID0 array and re-create it, then re-install windows. It got to expanding windows files before I got my next attached BSOD.
When I tried to access windows recovery this time, I had my final attached BSOD and I've decided this is much more difficult to solve on my own.
I can't access anything on the drives, so I can't reach minidumps, and after I BSOD, I get thrown back into a boot loop without post or bios access until I reseat the battery on the mobo.
I've had a pretty bad week.
