Nothing at all when the he CPU is connected it doesn't get the time to post cause it power's down as soon as you power up... Like 2-3secs and boom off to a restart

So I have/had? a core 2 quad q6700 A Gtx 470 8 Gb of ddr2 On random YouTube vid while listening to music my pc froze.... I thought cool let's restart it but it never booted again.... Before getting to post it shuts off and restarts. I began the troubleshooting process striped off to the bare minimum. Gpu, ram , and hard drives where all fine since it kept having the problem after me disconnecting them. While I only had the CPU connected I though maybe I could try talking it off the ATX 8-pin and just try to power up the mobo to get the speaker beeping and what do you know it worked! So once I give power to the CPU the pc can't post it gets stuck on restart loops. I tried with a second PSU to make sure it wasn't the problem and sure enough nothing got fixed. So does that mean that the CPU is gone for no reason? Is this even possible? The thermal paste was just fine, the pins not bent, was not under real stress... And never run more than 50c...

Could you please explain what you mean by that? Why would it need an error correction? And why did it not work on me?

So wouldn't it be faster if i create an account sync it with my current settings and then boot to the ssd to synch it? Yea i do i have everything ready to go for the browser.. I'm alright with the manual process, it's just more time consuming and then you got Debug... but i thought i can't be the first one to face this problem so maybe there was a fast way..

I used Macrium Reflect... i tried to find a free way out and don't need a full year licence and after doing some research i ened up on it. But since you said that, help me out over here my HDD looks like this... That's my mistake but at the time that the HDD was created i wasn't knowledgeable enough to touch anything so all of the data is in the /C: partion by default... The thing is that the clone cannot pick windows files out , and i don't want photos, videos, games and stuff to move over to the SSD. I just need windows and any software that i often use. That's the reason i wanted to see if there is a way out of it... Should i try some other cloning software and manualy delete everyhting afterwards?

So i have a new SSD. After a massive cloning failure i used the Win tool made a clean installation of Win 10 and i wonna keep my settings and info (profiles, passwords,customization) i don't feel like setting every thing up again. My first problem is the activation key, I'm pretty sure that if i use my existing one it'll say it's being used, so is there a folder that saves user settings,preferences,customization etc. that i could replace with my old one from the HDD that will carry all of it? If not what are my oprions on switching Only the Oc and the apps that i want to the ssd.

Ok so everything is done now it's fixed i took the windows tool made a clean install on the sdd and used it to boot and change the settings in HDD. The accidental switch that i was talking about was indeed the problem. The "active" disk partition should be the system because of the BOOTMGR... I found this article which is explaining in depth and way better than me. If you ever mess up your partitions that what to do! https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmagic/accidentally-marked-drive-c-active.html

I don't but I can create one of another pc...

Yeap I just did I only have the HDD plugged in and I says an operating systems wasn't found

Ok so I created a clone on my new ssd and I didn't quite work well... The clone completed every file was copied but it wasn't bootable, so on disk management the SSD partition was not showing active so I right clicked on it and "made it active" and after doing that I noticed that it deactivated my original HDD.... Watching that and knowing that it could mess up things I switched it back again.... Long story short the motherboard apperently cannot find an operating system in the HDD (pretty sure because of that switch) how do I fix that?

Yeap i realized by looking at the spec sheet, kind of sucks but still way better than HDD. Thanks a lot for your help everyone. o7

That would be Asus p5e

i thought that it had 2 sata 3 and 4 sata 2

Well mistakes on me everyone.... i took this one staight out of the mobos manual

I think it uses 5, cause of the massive "V nand" sticker on the front
