Is the CPU dead?

[aSPIRIn4]

I`ve build a computer for my brother about a week a go. After 5-6 days of working perfectly while he was playing league of legends the computer turned off and it doesn`t post since then.

I also stress tested his pc for 10mins after i`ve build it

Specs:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

GIGABYTE B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2

Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Dual Channel Kit

Palit GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Dual LHR 8GB GDDR6 256-bit

SSD Kingston KC3000 1TB PCI Express 4.0

be quiet! Pure Power 12 M, 80+ Gold, 650W

 

Symptoms: Now when I turn the computer ON all fans are spinning (gpu lights don`t turn on) and nothing shows on the screen.

 

What i`ve tried so far:

-Moved the gpu to another computer and it works perfectly

-Disconnected all fans, peripherals, and everything that was not needed to post the computer and still nothing.

-Reseated all the component 2 times

-Tried running with 1 or 2 ram sticks in every combination possible

-I took my cpu ( ryzen 3600 ) and put it in to his mobo and it works fine. ( i can`t put his cpu in to my mobo , it`s an older model)

 

From my knowledge cpu`s are quite resilient and outlive most components but this one seems that it died.

 

Any opinions?

Sounds like it´s dead. Your best option is probably to claim the warranty and get it replaced.

What BIOS version do you have? I think unsupported CPU:s can kind of work though not sure if it could cause it to work and then not. Worth looking at, anyway. It seems support for the 5000 series came with the F10 BIOS version while the 3000 got support in the F2 BIOS version.

I actually have a similar example as I bought a supposedly non-working AM4 which the seller said had been throwing up errors and then failed to POST entirely. I looked it up and saw that the seller was using an unsupported CPU. Now with a supported one, it works perfectly. For you, it could just be a matter of updating the BIOS, hopefully.

 

If it was running on an unsupported BIOS, perhaps the BIOS encountered some critical error with the CPU and then blocked it from booting. Just speculation but it seems plausible. Something like that must have happened with mine, at least.

Could be a factory defect that caused the cpu to die early, definitely claim warranty and test again when you get it replaced.
