Hello everyone!
I am a newbie in this forum, though i have been following linus for a long time. Please be nice to me!
Following Situation:
After i played a videogame my PC suddenly overheated to 91C. After seeing that i immediately restarted the system. Now whenever i try to boot it up everything lights up for a second, fans spin for 1 second, and then it goes dark again. It wont react to any more power-button presses. CPU Led lights up red, that is the only thing i can make out.
Summary of what is going on:
after CPU overheated i restarted the pc
Red CPU Led lights up briefly
everything turns on for 1 second and goes off again
have this PC in since 6~ years, worked perfectly fine yesterday
What i have tried already:
removed RAM sticks and tried booting with 1-2 of them (with the GPU)
removed the GPU and tried booting
tried booting without any drives attached
reapplied thermalpaste
took out the CPU and put it back in (no bent pin from what i have seen)
tried booting without the CPU cooler
dusted it off nicely!
plugged in the PC in 2 differnet places
System specs:
CPU: Intel i7-3930K
Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100i Watercooler

There arent any led displays built into the motherboard, so i cant say if there is an error code.
