Hey there,
While playing Destiny 2, my PC shut down and wouldn't turn back on the first 15 minutes. I opened my PC, cleared everything of dust. I also tested my PSU to see if that was the problem, but PSU passed the pin test. After 30-45 minutes of doing research and buying the paper clips I used my brothers PSU to test it on my PC. It was able to turn on, but I noticed a spark come out of my CPU pins attached to mobo. It still turned on fine and ran for 5 minutes before I shut it off. I then put back my PSU that passed the paper clip test and my PC turned on fine using the mobo test pressing the power pins with a screwdriver.
I want to know what caused the issue and what I can do to diagnose my problems further. Right now, it seems like an overheat from the dust on my CPU fans or something or an overheat in general. I've never had an overheat problem before. I also have had a recent issue with my PC freezing ever since the fall update. I made a thread concerning this issue:
