The post about the processor slot makes me wonder if the OP is experiencing something I did a time ago when I tried to use Superglue as a thermal compound (I was inspired by this idiotic practice done by gluing a fan right to a overdrive chip) - got some of that superglue in the socket, used Acetone and a .024W guitar string to clean the pins off. The CPU in the computer was trashed though, could never get all the pins clean, still have it though.
Might pay to get a very thin wound guitar string and CAREFULLY use it to clean the pins on the processor socket just in case of corrosion/dirt/something leaked in there and is preventing good contact with the CPU.
