But I got a new one and installed it but forgot to plug in the 8-pin power connector to the motherboard so I fixed that but then realized my SATA cables were plugged in in the wrong order so the D: drive was my DVD drive instead of my HDD so I fixed that and now it’s working fine

I think what happened is my ancient Zalman cooler got too dusty and then it got too hot and the aluminum brace holding it to the CPU snapped but luckily 28 bucks got me a new cooler and I also got some Arctic Silver because I remember it being good and I am too lazy to look up if it’s still good or not

but now I can look at my Steam library without playing it and shitpost with a mechanical keyboard again
