Based on what problems my computer had I think it’s done but It’s worth trying to fix.
So yesterday I replaced the water pump on the computer, I’m very new to doing anything with hardware so I just followed a tutorial. After a few hours of normal use every thing freezes on the screen, i power the computer off and whenever I try to hit the power button it will turn on for a varying amount of time between 0.5 and 10 seconds before I can hear a faint clicking noise and it powers off. What is very strange is that after I unplugged the Rgb sata connected the computers lights will stay on for longer(still slightly carried in time) and after they turn off they turn back on again on their own in an endless loop(but still no boot or nothing on the display) again I’m very new to hardware but I think this is very concerning and probably a short cercuit.
here are what I think the possible causes are but please correct me if you disagree
1)the thermal paste I re applied into the cpu and caused a short cercuit, (tm30 paste which after googling it says it’s none conductive, can none conductive still break things?)
2)I stupidly forgot to put washers in the 4 screws that hold the water pump to the mother board, I put the washers in after and tried booting but it didn’t help
3)I’m pretty sure I plugged the rgb into the wrong Sata port, although while the computer was on the lights still worked
I wish even if it’s destroyed i at least know what causes it, thanks in advanced.
