Things are getting tough, so I’m pushing harder. Earlier, I was playing a game and then everything went dark—screen, keyboard, mouse all gone. I attempted to remove the CMOS and changed the RAM slots, but nothing worked. It’s been several hours now, and I’m not sure how to fix it. Additionally, I noticed an oily residue on the back of my GPU case. I read online it might just be thermal pads and is safe, is that accurate?

System specifications requested. Game played? Yes. Oily residue on GPU visible—likely from the pads. Detailed info needed.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5600G
Motherboard: Asus Prime B550M-K
I replaced it after a visit to Altex, where they said the chip was dead. They suggested an update to the BIOS. It was two years ago, so it’s been a while.

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600
Power Supply: Corsair RM 750W gold
RAM: 2 x MTA8ATF1G64AZ-2G6H1 (16 GB total)

Game: I was playing Cod Modern Warfare 2019 when the system crashed. I’m planning to share a screenshot later, but I cleaned it up right after seeing the video.

Sure, I'll review it tomorrow morning. It's 5 AM here, and I need some rest. I'll also check the pictures if no one else comes along to assist by then. We'll sort this out together.
