New construction begins and then stops operation.
I recently assembled my first PC and everything appears to be working properly once it powers on. The RGB lights activate correctly, and the system posts successfully. In the BIOS menu, temperatures display accurately, but when checking the CPU temperature, it spikes dramatically—reaching 100°C—and then the machine shuts down abruptly as if someone pressed the power button.
Reinstall your cooler carefully, checking for any residue on the copper block. Verify all bolts are securely fastened and confirm fans, pump, or other components are operating correctly. The CPU is shutting down due to overheating as it attempts to protect itself.
Sure, I’ll take a look. You mentioned the RGB lights on the pump are on, but you’re unsure if the pump itself is working properly.
You can usually sense the pump's vibration and the water flowing through the tubes when it's functioning properly. It seems you're using a specific AIO model. There should be a dedicated cable connected to control or power the pump. The last AIO you used was linked to a fan header on the motherboard, so make sure that header is set to full speed in the BIOS settings.
I just removed the pump from the mount and noticed it wasn’t making contact with part of the CPU in the lower left area. From what I see, the thermal paste hasn’t spread there yet. After taking off the cooler and reinstalling it twice, it still didn’t adhere properly. I’m trying to place it as evenly as possible, but it’s not working. Would it help if I used my own thermal paste instead?
