Hello, After I bought my pc for 3 years it began do weird things like becoming slower, sometimes shutting itself down after pressing the button until eventually it died.
But when I repaired it, worked for 3 days and I put it away for a while when I tried turning it on again it worked but the only difference is I connected it to the internet the pc worked, the day after that I tried turning it on I discovered that it died again.
Now it works but with a different motherboard (which is the GA-H61M-S2PT) but I plan to repair it but fully working not dying again and put the Gigabyte in a different machine for someone who doesn't play demanding games or do heavy work on it
Here's a few culprits:
1. Broken CPU Socket Pins
2. A Gray substance on the backside
3. Probably the Capacitors
Please help me if possible, in case if it's not possible tell me what broke exactly

Will providing photos of the board help?
No, not in the least. Take it to a repair shop (and be prepared to pay a lot)
I would seriously consider a new computer!

No, I cannot! I am on the other side of the screen from you, possibly on the other side of Earth!
A repair? A new computer? That's up to you... https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop
