Hey guys whenever i try turning on my pc it shuts down automatically, i reckon someone from my home tried cleaning the stock cooler (and it has a broken lock, which probably doesn't matter much).

My pc config as far as i remember( been away from home for a year and gonna return for a while) :

Configured all of these probably in 2010/11

Processor: AMD Phenom ii x6 1090T Black Edition ( With stock fan which overheats, with a broken lock in it lol)
Mobo: Don't remember was model number was probably a Asus or Gigabyte product.
RAM: 4gb DDr2 or 3 don't remember
PSU: Cooler Master (don't remember model no)

It says 6 cores activated and shuts down within a minute or two, whereas i never over clocked it. I think it's a motherboard problem. what do you guys reckon?

btw another problem is i get shocks from my pc case or whenever i plug in usb peripherals, i had replaced my cooler master PSU and it started after that...


also, if it's a mobo probs, recommend me some cool motherboard and a psu which will last longer....


Need suggestions for upgrade anyway, best compatible mobo, compatible ram, gpu as well needed for mid level gaming/ watching UHD content (in an economical way). what i need is a proper config. Thanks guys



Cheers

Could be lots of things.

If your CPU cooler is not working properly or has come too lose from the CPU, then it will not cool and your system will shut itself down to prevent damage.

The electrical shock suggest a problem with your PSU. I would not use my system in that circumstance until I tracked it down. The fact that you are alive and writing suggests that it is a 12V shock as opposed to a mains power shock.
