So I'm in a stump.
Lately my computer has been getting pretty hot, I recently had broke my Coolmaster CPU fan and had to replace with a cheap fan laying around. Everything was good, until I ran some heavy games RUST, DayZ or anything that requires a lot of stress. After about 8 hours of gameplay the computer would shut down. No warnings, it would shut down. So I thought, hey maybe its my RAM, so I decided to run CPU-Z and HW Monitor, and monitored them on my other screen along with task manager.
So what I found was that my (at the time 8gb RAM) was running at 99%, much higher than it used to be. I figured that it was just that, it was some pretty old RAM so maybe ones just going bad. No big deal. Then I wait a week and still the same problem, computer boots fine, everything is good. I do a GPU stress TEST on Afterburner and everything is good. Then I hop on Rust, and eveything going fine, finally when I boot in the computer shuts down. No warning. It takes about 5 minutes to be able to turn back on.
I'm thinking to myself, hey, maybe its the heatsink and cpu, maybe its just getting too hot, So I grab a couple fans and boot on and everything is fine, its slower to boot than normal, but the RAM upgrade is a helping my computer go faster. So I think this is great, now I boot into rust, im monitoring the computer and its at around 36°C (96.8°F). So i come to my senses and leave it off, and order a new H55 liquid Cooling system (still hasn't come in yet) and I decide for the mean time I can't game, but I can still do small things, browse the web, work/college. Everything was good.
((CURRENT ISSUE))) Then I come to the brilliant idea of trying to re thermal paste my CPU and heatsink, just in that might be the problem. So i had some trouble getting off my CPU from my heatsink, it was stuck and had to use an exacto knife to get it off. Finally it came off. Then I cleaned off old paste, cleaned heatsink and fan, then I reapplied some new thermal paste (Thermaltake TG-7) and did an even coat on top. next I put the heat sink, remounted fan and now my computer wont boot.
Power does turn on, Fans turn on, they stay on. When I restart my PSU the power will cycle and my keyboard and mouse will flash on, then back to black. My display will not show anything, no POST screen nothing.
I've tried resetting my CMOS by removing my MOBO battery, refitting my CPU, tried booting with one stick of RAM, tried using both VGA and DVI, but nothing. ALSO NO JUMPERS (PC came prebuilt by iBuyPower, they didn't include them 4 years ago)
Everything was working just fine 48 hours ago, no black outs, not random power sugers, nothing. Also one of the pins on the CPU was bent, however I bent it back into place using my magnifiying glasses a pair of tweezers. CPU is fitted properly, and I just cant figure out what to do.

BUILD
----------------
AMD FX 6100
MSI GTX 760
G-Skill 1600 DDR3 16GB RAM 2x8GB (Recently upgrade from 8GB 2x4gb )
Thermalake TR2 600W
WD 1TB Blue
Gigabyte MOBO - Doesn't show a name on it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The end result was the Power Supply. The GPU was fine and was tested on a rig running at 1000w platinum cert, we ran benchmarks on MSI Kombustor and ran a couple games like Witcher 3, Arma III, and Hitman absolution. The end result was that the PSU had finally given out.
SOULUTION: Power Supply was busted, needed new one entirely.
