Hi, very recently my computer has been randomly shutting off. Yesterday I found my computer wouldn't turn on at all, which scared me. I looked over my computer temps and it never went over 60 Celsius, that isn't enough to overheat, right? Either way, I went to clean the GPU and CPU with cotton balls and canned air before buying any new parts, and it turned on, but the CPU fan was loud. Quickly I turned it off and decided to thoroughly clean the heat sink by unscrewing it apart. There was more dust than I thought and even a piece of hair which defiantly got in there and was causing the loud noise after the first clean! I got all of it off, but the fan is still abnormally loud, but not loud like the first time. It's hard to explain, so I recorded a video of the noise: https://youtu.be/umzPXgDKhZg
What could cause this loud noise? Did I not clean it enough? I felt like I applied the thermal paste correctly. I'd like to clarify the loud noise didn't happen until I cleaned the heat sink. This is my first time messing with CPUs though I have seen a friend make a computer.
Specs:
CPU:AMD FX 4300 (stock cooler)
Mobo: GA-78LMT-S2
GPU: GTX 750 ti
