Hey guys, I've ran into a bit of a problem! I was using my PC an hour ago and the exhaust fan next to my cpu cooler just went to 100% and gave me BSOD! Every time I boot it up now the fan is still at 100% and I either can't get passed bios or I manage to get to desktop for a few minutes before crashing again. At first I thought it was a classic mb failure or the psu had gone, but when I can get back to desktop I can get task manager up just about as everything is running super slow and the only irregularity is my SSD running at nearly max speed?! Am I right in guessing this probably means my SSD is dying/dead?

Thanks guys.
 
Ok think I've found the issue. The longer I leave it off the longer I can boot up without crashing. I'm using a Corsair H80i GT cpu cooler and looks like it's gone :( cpu temps starting at 80 degrees and rising up into the 90's before shutting itself down as fan gets louder. First time I've had a liquid cooler so are these easy to get off and see if the thermal paste might be the issue?
 
The thermal paste looked pretty naff so reapplied that and no change, but thankfully no leaks anywhere. Took the cooler apart to see if I could loosen any blockage if there was one but no luck. I could Try and RMA it, but honestly I just don't have the patience I'd rather just buy a new cooler. I don't have much space in my case so another one with the same 120mm fans and radiator would be ideal. Any recommendations fellas?
Cheers.
