OK Update on it all, subbed in my older cooler and everything now works! however i still dont know if it was the actual cooler that messed up or the specific AIO connector that died since it went to a different port on the motherboard. Ill take it into Microcenter to be test benched later this week. Thanks all for the help!

so i just remembered i used to be able to hear the liquid in the tubes moving, now i dont. so i guess the kraken is just dead?

Specs: ASUS Z270-A PRIME Motherboard Kraken X42 NZXT Liquid Cooler i7 7700k 4.2GHz clock GTX 1080 SU EVGA Corsair RM1000x PSU 16GB DDR4 TridentZ My PC restarted during the night and when i went over to turn it back on, i was greeted by the American Megatrends "CPU Over Temperature Error!" warning. Went into my BIOS and my CPU is now idling at 90C while my AIO is still showing as working for my liquid cooler. When i "save and quit" from the BIOS the compute also doesn't restart back into BIOS or windows but just hangs with the fans at a really low speed. During all of this i can hear a 'chirp' from near the CPU. When I turn the computer off that chirp turns into a loud whine for 2 seconds. the red CPU LED on the motherboard is also a solid red now. Here is two pictures of the error and the BIOS showing what is happening and a video of the chirp and whine https://streamable.com/8zku9 much appreciated if anyone can help!
