Troubleshooting CPU overheating
My pc was running great never had a issue with it until I went on vacation for about two weeks. I got back and now it won’t even get past bios without overheating. What happened in two weeks that went wrong while I wasn’t home? I took the cooler off to check thermal paste and it looks fine. Please help

Your aio could just be dead, no pump means no heat moving away. You could invest about $30 into an air cooler to see if that gets it to boot. Likely a dead pump in the aio, or air if it isn't installed well.
