To describe my problem, my PC 3 days ago didn't turn on after going to buy upgrades for it. So I sat there the entire time figuring it out. I basically removed the entire thing, and then rebuilt it. I made sure all the PSU cables were not tangled, and modded them with plastic zip ties. I put the cover back on. It worked, and I got to gaming. Then I shut it off. I didn't use it the next morning, but when I came back to the house, my PC wouldn't run. Did the same thing I did the day before, gut the entire thing, and then put the parts back. It ran, but then it would turn off at random. The problem has gotten so bad that I can't get past the "Start Windows Normally" screen, without the whole PC shutting down. I also forgot to plug the CPU fan back in a bunch of times, maybe the CPU overheated too much when I was gaming? I am not sure.
Also I do not know if this is a problem or not but as I can remember, the Thermal paste hasn't been replaced in 6 years, and I just bought a AS5 thermal paste, and it should be arriving on Monday. I will post updates if that'll fix it, and if it is a CPU heat problem with the thermal paste.
