Last night I cleaned my computer by opening the side and using compressed air on the fans, and it worked perfectly. Today I used Chrome and the fans began to spin fast, causing lag, and after a moment it crashed. I restarted it and checked the BIOS, seeing the CPU temperature rise quickly. I also noticed the NZXT logo on my water cooler wasn’t showing up (it usually does). I’m unsure what might have caused this or what I should do next.
I'm concerned it might be related to the cleaning, mesh, or something similar. It seems unusual that it occurred the day after I cleaned it. I'd really appreciate knowing if the pump issue is common.
