GTX H100i water cooler not working all of a sudden, please help!

UPDATE: So its pretty clear ill just have to replace my cooler... Im considering the Dark Rock 3, how would that do? Would it perform as good as the H100i? If not, any other recommendations? I have a budget of no more than $65.

My GTX H100i water cooler had been working fine until just this morning, I went into the BIOS and noticed that my CPU was at like 50 degrees! and it normally idles at 20! 

The tubes are getting really warm, but the radiator fans are still blowing cold air. If i try to stress test, then i get a bluescreen in about 2 seconds to prevent my CPU from bursting into flames (around 90 degrees). I'm pretty sure the pump is working properly, because corsair link says it is at 3000 "rpms", and i hear it. The fans are on max, and I dont know how the block would have become improperly seated overnight. I just cant seem to understand why its not working! 

PS: before my water cooler started failing, I had my CPU overclocked to 4.6GHz, and it had been that way for weeks without problems, but now i have it at 1GHz so that it wont overheat

System Specs:

CPU: i7 6700k 

GPU: GTX 960 4GB

Mobo: MSI Z170A

CPU Cooler: Corsair GTX H100i 

RAM: 8GB of something idk what brand

If the fan is blowing cold air, then the hot liquid isn't being pushed through the radiator for the fan to bleed heat off of. It's the pump.

Buy another and return your current one "It doesnt work"

 or

Buy another one and RMA your current one using it then sell the RMA'd one on your local used website (KIJIJI, Craigslist, even ebay)
