Good news! I fixed the problem! As you can see in the attached image, some pins have a darker color at their base. That is thermal paste from when I build my pc first time (few years ago). I have tested it in multiple ways, no problems. Cleaned between the pins with a needle Still got a lot to...

Yes, it is clean!

Nothing changed. It just did not work anymore a few days ago! No change in temperature, no change in position, no socket damage as far as I know. The PC worked for quite some time without me changing the thermal paste or reseating CPU.
