I have an intel core i5 6400 processor that me, being the noob I am, tried to clean. I removed the fan and heatsink and mistakenly removed the thermal paste from it (thought it was coagulated dust).
Then, I used the processor for a few months more with slight overheating issues. Yesterday, I cleaned the PC again and removed the processor itself, then put it back again in the socket.Now after starting, the computer overheats rapidly and then shows a bsod.
What is the chance that the processor is damaged and beyond repair, or the mobo is, or just installing new coolants will fix this issue?
P.S - In uefi menu, the temperature stays around 45 to 50 (stayed that way for almost 30 min)
