Posted July 23, 2020 So I have, well had the following system 4790k Hyper 212 MSI ski krait GTX 1070 32gb ram Months back the PC crashed and then would keep crashing so I replaced the SSD Then I couldn't write to hdd anymore so I replaced the hard drive The other day the PC crashed during Witcher 3 and then when I would turn it on it would go into os working for 10 secs then crash So I dismantled it tried every dimm slot and all that and to no avail I actually ended getting error 99 on boot. I completely dismantled the PC cleared cmos and then wouldn't even boot Now I have the PC on the table dismantled, using a ram stick from another PC have tried disconnecting everything and wouldn't even display anything except one time. So then I randomly decided to try a different CPU my old Pentium g3258 and the Pc is in os and has not crashed. Is there any hope of reviving the CPU: I've cleaned thermal compound multiple times I have reseated the CPU multiple times Tried different coolers Different os drives Different graphics card Cleared cmos Please help me if you can, I appreciate you reading this far I know it's a long post but I wanted to demonstrate have exhaustive I have tried to be with my trouble shooting. Thank you If it is dead it's okay I guess it has lasted me 5 years I bought it new. I'm gonna upgrade to Ryzen 4th gen, I hope it's worth the wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 23, 2020 Does the fans spin up? Does any light come on (if you have any) Reminder I'm just speaking from experience so what I say may not work 100% Please try searching up the answer before you post here but I am always glad to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's seen a few overclocks mostly kept at 4.5ghz. my aio died so it did thermal throttle once or twice without me figuring out what was going on. Pump died Then was on stock cooler for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't mentioned the PSU yet. Try removing the 1070 and running off the iGPU to reduce the PSU load. If it cleans up, then it's probably the PSU, if it doesn't, you're looking at a different CPU at least.

I have another power supply but it's out of old unit so I will just do my best with it. My power supply is 5 years old so maybe it is dead. Was planning to go fully modular soon so I'll try it tomorrow. Thank you for the idea man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I thought a dead CPU meant like things were like properly broken but if everything is running then maybe it is a power supply issue.
