PSU issue?

I think it's the drive. I've another boot drive with a clean install that works fine. It won't boot with the other drive installed, just hangs in the windows icon.
Plugging it in after the system has booted shows it in file manager but you can't access anything.
Still going to reseat everything but its pointing at the drive , Sandisk extreme SSD
 
Hopefully you've identified the problem - looks positive.

I would still be tempted check your load temps as there's a chance that the drive became corrupted over time due to the the system freezing/hanging due to thermal issues.

If possible check the 'load temps' of the CPU before you re-seat everything so you could either identify or eliminate it as the cause - but don't worry if you can't or it's a PITA to do.
 
its a pain. I don't have driver disks and can't access the internet on that machine. I've got a laptop here but no external hard drive. I'm just going to treat it as a new build and give everything a good clean when I'm at it.

Fair enough - best of luck.
 
Thanks for the help mate. Back up and running fine with a brand new Win10 install on a new HD. Took the chance to upgrade the cooler at the same time, nothing fancy, just better than the stock.
Busy reinstalling all the bloody software I need to use. Thankfully I only use the boot drive for the os, all my work is kept on separate drives with automatic backups to other drives so apart from a bit of irritation there's no real harm done.
