Badly overheating need help.

[Canirunthis]

So this is the story

I am running a 5960X oced to 4.5ghz on the rampage v extreme full specs in signature) and before 3 days i was editing a family 4k video of an hour in adobe photoshop and as it was reducing the quality to 1080p i saw that there the time showed about 30mins and then suddenly the time showed to be 1.5hours did it again and after 8 mins the half an hour turned to 1.5 hour. Igot it that something was wrong and opened task manager i found that the cpu was at 100% and also it was at 4.5 ghz so i felt nothing abnormal there and so now i opened speedfan for temps anf the temp was 96c and i just freaked out. I thought that i recently might had chsnged the thermal paste from a cheap one to the evga frostbite and must not thightened the water cooler properly so while comp was running i slowly opened the case and felt the heat inside (btw the gpu was at 75c) and found that the cooler was not tightened i immidiately thightened the screw and there was still no change i turned off everyapp and went to task mgr and speed fan both showed like 2 to 6 percent cpu usage and temps came down to 70c and then no temp going down i turned off the computer and cleaned the thermal paste cleaned tge cooler and again applied the thermal paste but no change.in the bios i reset everything and now the idle temp is 62c. I yesterday was playing bf4 with my friend online and suddenly my computer turned off i almost went numb??and after turning all power and everthing and turning them back on my computer did not turn on!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried all sorts of things but none of them worked and also i even changed ghe psu but it just wont turn on i am writing this on my ipad and really depressed. The computer is just 4 months old. ????
PLEASE HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you remove the RAM does the motherboard beep at you when you boot it without the RAM?
if you cannot force a beep code the motherboard is most likely dead.

Hi

I can not see make / specs for CPU water cooler ?
(stock heatsink probably does not like overclocking and running all cpu cores at max)

BIOS settings should throttle (slow down) hot CPU did you disable this feature?

maybe you applied too much thermal paste

how do you measure cpu temperature?
(bios page view of temperature & fan rpm shows idle temperature, or software
(preferably software recomended by the motherboard maker or otherwise known to work on that motherboard)

Sometimes reseting cmos using jumper will allow 'dead' motherboard to start up
(jumper usually near to CMOS button cell)

It sounds like the cooler's pump is not working or there's air in the system. Follow the manufacturer procedure to check if your cooler is working properly.

I use the cooler master nepton 280l and was working fine for the months and yes the mobo did make the beep on removing the ram what to do now????????

My car was working fine for a year and a half, but it failed and it now is at the dealer to be fixed. The fact that your cooler worked fine for months doesn't prove that it still does.
