Hello,
So i did my first ever pc build in may (I'm 14) and i don't have any knowledge of building the pc. I did everything correct and it booted (it's a fine piece of ass) but lately it has started acting weird. The screen suddenly turns of, or the pc wont send any data to it. The fans starts spinning really fast and i'm worried it's going to explode everytime. I have to press inn the power on button to make it stop, which i hate. But when i thought a little bit more about the cause, i think it's because i took on too much thermal paste. I used arctic silver i think, but i'm not sure. It did go over the sides, but then i didn't dare to care, so I have left it be all this time. Do you guys think it could because of that? And are my whole motherboard ruined or do i just have to wipe it off?
