I recently cleaned my machine and replaced a fan on the side duct. During this time I also decided to reapply thermal paste to the HS/Fan because it hasn't been done for almost 2 years. My usual idel temp was 50º and around 65-70º load. After cleaning the machine (just wipping down the fans and applying new thermal paste) my temps are now up in the 69-80º (varies alot) and I can't get into windows. It loads up windows, I can see a mouse cursor and then it resets.
I can't see the BSOD because it resets, and I can't halt it because I can't get into windows. Is there another way to halt the BSOD so I can see what the problem is, or might this not be with a temperature problem and something else could of happened?
