Troubleshooting Help:

What is your parts list? Consider formatting your parts list.

Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive.

I shipped my computer to Arizona via UPS. I took out the GPU beforehand. However, I did not remove the CPU cooler and that broke free, scratching up my mirror and everything. I assembled everything back together and my PC booted up. However, it hit 100 C, the system's fans were roaring, and I got a blue screen.

List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem.

I've removed the thermal paste with rubbing alcohol and applied a new compound. However, it still did not solve the issue.

EDIT: Fixed the issue. The screw on the bottom of the cooler was loose, thus the cooler never made contact. Sorry to bother ya'll over my stupid mistake.
