So just recently my NXZT X62 AIO wasn't cooling my CPU and it was hitting like 90-100c so I knew there was a problem with my bracket that they sent me so I wasn't really surprised (although the system has been working for about 6 months) so i went to take off the cooler and and it was super stuck so much so that i had to break the cooler's bracket to take it off but once it was off i went to put on a stock cooler and i put on thermal paste and everything in till i could get a new cooler and I didn't change anything except taking off the cooler and my system wouldn't even boot and my motherboard (Asus Z170-A) had a LED light on for the CPU but after around 20 seconds it would go away and change to a DRAM light so after rebuilding the computer around 3 times i gave up and i went to go put together my old system in my smexy case and even that motherboard and CPU wouldn't work so i'm super lost on whats wrong i don't know what else to try so i just wanted to see if anyone on here could help :00 but thanks for reading anyways.

Here are my specs if you were wondering :Intel 6600K Skylake CPU -- ASUS Z170-A Motherboard--Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4-2100 Memory-- EVGA GeForce GTX
960 4GB ACX 2.0+ Video Card-- NZXT S340 Glossy White-- EVGA 500W 80+ Certified
ATX Power Supply--Seagate 1TB HDD
 
1. Stock cooler is a bit weak for k series CPU

2. No way of knowing what damage was done when ya were yanking on the cooler hard enough to break the mounting bracket. brings to mind Jaz2cents when he drilled thru the MoBo bracket . He was surprised when he realized the board was fried. I have seen boards get ruined simply by over tightening a cooler.

So many variables here thats its hard to even begin. You had set BIOS to defaults / cleared CMOS in both cases? EPS cable and CPU fan cables plugge din ?

I'm just confused because i plugged in a completely different motherboard and CPU combo and it still didn't work
