Hey just looking for any help I can get...
So my computer crashed after what I think may have been overheating and for awhile when I turned it on it would turn off immediately and the restart in an endless loop. After a few months I decided to clean out all the dust and now it turns on for about 30 seconds and turns off, no restart. I am trying to narrow down what the issue is so I can try to replace just the busted hardware not the entire computer. There is no display and no sound when turned on. All the fans work including the gpu fan and the LEDs on the case work. My specs are:
CPU: intel i5 2500k
GPU: ati radeon 6870hd sapphire
Mobo: Gigabyte z68ap-d3
PSU: Corsair CX600
1TB HDD (came from an old HP pavilion)
INWIN dragon rider case
I build the computer about 4 years ago and it was running well, I brought it to my first two years of college and it crashed near the end of the last semester I was there. I can definitely say I believe not cleaning the dust attributed to this problem. The other thing is that my heatsink isnt fastened all the way on anymore and the thermal paste is dry but this was after I took it off months after the crash. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you
