All the fans are spinning including the CPU fan but I have to physically switch off the computer using the switch at the back. I can't restart the computer and can only do so after 5 - 10 mins, which leads me to believe it's a heat issue? Is it? (While I can restart it after 10 mins, the screen still goes blank.)
I took the computer out yesterday and used a can of compressed air to remove some dust. Hooked it back up and then it started with the problem mentioned above. Took the computer out and noticed that the heatsink was a tad loose. Removed the heatsink, cleaned out the thermal paste from the heatsink and the CPU, added new paste and hooked it back up. Still no luck.
What could it possibly be?
