CPU stopped working

[Hussain_7]

Hello
I recently assembled a PC with :
Intel i5-7600K Processor
Cooler Master Hyper D92 CPU Cooler
Gigabyte Z270X Gaming K7 Motherboard
G Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB RAM (8X2)
EVGA Supernova 650 G1 Power Supply
Seagate Barracuda 2 TB Hard Disk
Gigabyte GTX 1080 Windforce OC
Corsair Carbide 100R
The PC worked pretty well for two days and stopped working on the third.
The LED on the motherboard shows that there is a problem with the processor. I have tried taking out all the wires and putting them back in to no avail. I have tried everything possible and failed drastically. Please advise me what I should do.

When you press the power button, is the fan on the PSU spinning?

Remove the CPU and check that are all the pins correct?

 

[Hussain_7]

I cannot ascertain the PSU fans because of the darkness but all the other case fans as well as the CPU Cooler are working flawlessly which led us to the conclusion that the PSU is working fine

Ok in the absence of any data, can you re-mount the cpu and cooler? I am not sure why it would take two days for issues to appear, and I'm still inclined to think that psu is having issues cause of this:

but that might just be bias, so try re-seating both the cpu and the cpu cooler.

I just took the CPU out and it looks like I applied too much cooling paste. It was spread everywhere and I am trying to clean it up. Should I try to use it again or has it gone waste. It has reached the sides. Please help

its not on the CPU and MB pins? if not then there is no need to worry
how are you cleaning it?

 

[Hussain_7]

It's on the top side of the CPU. Not on the MB pins but has touched a part of the processor pins. I'm cleaning it using a cotton cloth

You put the CPU in correctly I'm hoping, got your corners matched?

 

[Hussain_7]

Yes we did and it was working perfectly fine up until now

 

[Hussain_7]

I've placed it again after cleaning but it's still not working. I'll get it checked at the Intel Customer Care but thank you so kuch for all your advices

 

[Hussain_7]

I got it the motherboard and the processor checked at the Gigabyte Service Centre. It turned out that some motherboard pins had bent because of heavy pressure applied while putting the CPU Cooler over the CPU and they fixed it. It wasn't the processor or the thermal paste.
So Cheers everyone !!
