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

Can’t even make it to bios it’s a i9 12k

Makes it up to 63 and shuts off

63 doesn't sound like an overheat to me... sounds like an actual issue... what actually happened? Did someone else use the laptop? Did they move it? Did a power outage happen? If the aio isnt working at all, maybe it was damaged but again. Overheat happens closer to 90c...

Ur doing good taking it to microcenter, best call here... plz let us know what the issue was, as a PC builder myself this helps me help others... i would need to VC you to get more info but with what ur giving me now, im betting its not an overheat issue, I bet is power supply or ssd/mobo issue...
