The other day my computer was giving me a black screen upon turning it on.
I opened up the case and everything seemed to be running normally, but I had had some slight overheating issues in the past month so I decided to reseat the cpu and stuff just to see if that would change anything. It turned out the cpu had fused to the heatsink, so I separated the two and reapplied thermal paste, but upon replacing the cpu I'm still getting a blackscreen. The same thing happens with multiple different monitors.
Current symptoms are:
- blackscreen
- power button on case will turn computer on, but will NOT turn computer off
- fans on gpu dont spin on startup, kind of just jiggle a bit like theyre trying to spin but cant
I have literally no replacement parts available in order to test individual components outside of the machine.
What's my next step? Are there more steps I can take to try to isolate the problem before I'm forced to take it to a repair place, or do I just have to give up and take it to a repair place?

have u looked at the cpu pins? ur using a fresh one?

If you have nothing to test with you really have no choice but to take it to a shop. Sounds like its either the mobo or PSU.

all the cpu pins are good, whatever the issue is it isnt something ive been able to see with my bare eyes

real fucking hot apparently, ive never had issues in the past so i dont really record a log of the temps but the thermal paste had turned into literal concrete.

thermal paste can dry out after a few years
