Nozzle Temperature Crash and X Fail

Hi! I've just had to replace my PTFE tube and since then, every time the Nozzle heats in any way it crashes and goes back to start up screen. On top of that, now it says my X Length fails. What the hell have I done? How do I fix it? Where do I find the parts? 

Im so sick of flailing around with this machine (with minimal tech knowledge or knowledge of what or where to look). If I lived near a Prusa technician I would pay ANY amount to just get t to work for longer than a month before something shits itself. </rant>

Anyway, thanks for your time.

Hi Sean, 
I would guess that your motor and fan wires are not tucked away properly, and your Cable ties / cable bundle behind the X carriage, Might be wider than planned... 
 

I try to make safe suggestions,You should understand the context and ensure you are happy that they are safe before attempting to apply my suggestions, what you do, is YOUR responsibility. Location Halifax UK

Thank you for the reply! I feel very thick headed when it comes to my Prusa. Haha How should they be tucked away and how wider should the cables be. I've had my MK3S for almost a year now, I've changed the PTFE once already and every time I've had to pull it apart for something I've followed the online guides to the the detail ... but I am very fat fingered at times. Attached in the comments below are some images of the parts you mentioned.

I may have snapped a wire on the hotend maybe? Is that what could be cause the power crashing when it begins to heat up?
