Beyond this point though you'll need to get hands-on, though, and your roommate is much more local than I am. 😅

In either case, you'll likely need new thermal paste for the contact point between the CPU and cooling solution, too.

You're welcome!
Best guess is, if you're running an all-in-one liquid cooler, the coolant has most likely boiled off and/or the pump is no longer functional.
If a classic air-cooling solution, fans are most likely nonfunctional and/or the heatsink is clogged with dust.

Alternately, do you know the make and model of the cooling solution? (heatsink and fan, or all-in-one pump/radiator, I'm guessing)

(This is so I can suggest viable replacement options.)

Start with the obvious then and replace your CPU's cooling solution. Do you happen to know the make and model of the CPU in your computer?
