Earlier today i took my cooler off and repasted the cpu, (coollaboratory liquid ultra). System ran fine until just now, i was playing bf3 and in a few rounds my gun kept dissapearing, upon trying to quit the game the system froze, no programs responding. This happened twice requiring a hard reset, on the second occasion startup repair ran to fix any corrupt or damaged files. This completed but on reboot the system just gets to a black screen with a frozen mouse pointer right after the windows logo appears.

Ive tried with loading default system settings in bios, hdd's and memory are all showing up fine in bios, is this possibly a sign of a corrupt os install, or perhaps a hardware problem. Primary hdd is an ocz vertex 2e 120gb ssd, rest of spec in sig.
 
Cooler mount went grand mate. lower temps than previous, maxing at 60c on the highest core in game. Currently reinstalling windows to see how that go's. Thankfully there wasnt much on the drive, and it's backed up anyway.
 
Thinkin it's more of a hdd issue, ocz vertex 2e 120gb ssd, getting a red flashing light on the drive. Bad sign.
