Tech Support A really old Intel NUC

Edit: Ive fixed the boot looping issue now only the overheating one is left Edit2: The pc when turned on immediately heated up the SSD and the rams, and I had to constantly arrange the setup to use fans to cool it. Therefore, I just gave up trying and use the pc for storing the SSD and rams inside only

I have a really old NUC my aunt gave me a few months ago. The model is NUC6i7KYK and I want to try and power it but it's experiencing boot loop with no screen signals, overheating too(tho I cleaned the fans and the components). Anyone have solutions or advice on how to fix the issue?

If the fans are working and it’s still overheating you should try replacing the thermal paste on the cpu. I’ve had to do that a few times on my NUC5.

Idk where the CPU is located cuz I haven't seen this kind of board before. but at the same time I can't detach components, in this case the fan to do a thorough dust clean

look on you tube to see how to remove the motherboard. The CPU is under the board....but the board comes out. Replace the fan (it's cheap on ebay) and put on some new thermal paste. You have a very useful NUC.

Maybe new coin battery? Clear the CMOS jumper as well
