I've removed and reapplied proper thermal paste, replaced to ssd, fan still running max and cpu temp says staying around ?47 c I think it was. my problem now though on the drive, how can I swap the OS/BIOs. won't start without it, but it only has one drive, so I can just send it over. tried taking old drive to another computer, but trustedinstaller won't let me copy the whole thing... I've already lost most of my hair, i'm about ready to scalp myself. Edit: after a bit of time sitting powered on, fan functioning properly now. only issue still needing to port operating system

alright, thank you very much

that's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if the cpu might be having an issue computing. fan is mounted fine but question there, is the fan messed up or is it reading some process that the cpu is too hot when it isn't?

My kids knocked the old PC off the entertainment center. now, the cpu fan stays on full blast at all times, its slowly gotten worse over the last few months of just not wanting to function well. It starts up after a long time, barely wants to do anything once it gets past the log in screen. start Netflix or any program and it just takes 30 years to get to the next section. I have the entire case apart. my graphics obviously work, and it's onboard system. How can I figure out what I need to replace to get it working again?

In an attempt to do all things tech like Linus, I tried overclocking farther than i should have according to factory spec on my CPU(although it was less than Linus already had done in his example) and now i get no post from PC. I have tried CMOS reset, no change; removed battery for CMOS altogether, no change. I have checked ram, because i had also lowered latency, removed both sticks, constant beeps, install 1 at a time, no change from original statement. I have all fans functioning all wires in proper placement and know for a fact I have had NO overheating, no pins bent or broken, I see no bulging or visually malfunctioned motherboard circuitry, removed hard drive and external disk drive for testing, no changes. I removed CPU and fan altogether, PC gave no power or reaction, reinstall, PC starts a cycle of starting and shutting off over and over, i turned off manually, restart it, back to square one. My GPU fan does not spin at all times. Since the start, I have only noticed it actually spinning a couple of times out of all my attempts. Is this where my problem lies? I was overclocking my CPU, not my GPU. Do we feel its connection or the GPU itself? I don't have onboard graphics to test this, nor do i have an extra computer to swap parts with. The monitor is being used right now with a different, much different pc that i can't swap parts with, so monitor is fine.
