Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
Might want to inspect the CPU socket for any bent or broken pins if you took the CPU out for cleaning. As for your PSU, include the age of the unit apart from it's make and model. Might also want to check and recheck all connections from the {SU to all of your components, to see if they're secure!
I noticed something white on the psu which isn’t suppose to be there/ never seen before
We're flying blind here, how do you expect us to understand what you're seeing without context? You should include an image of what you're seeing.
