Broken CPU

[whitey210]

my i7 4770k has stopped working randomly and i don't have all of the original packaging to send it back what should i do?

[Tedster]

How do you know that it's your 4770k that died and not anything else?

The PSU is the most likely to go.

[ADZ_123_!"£]

Do you have any other LGA1150 cpu's to test wether the mobo is dead because it might be that.

[whitey210]

its not the powersupply that died since i put my old AMD cpu and mobo in and it works fine and i tested the cpu on another lga1150 mobo and still nothing

Well then you are going to want to RMA it back to intel then.

Then you should blame the person who binned it.

You can get the plastic clamshell for a dollar on eBay.

You might not need the plastic protective cover for the cpu fan, that's just to protect the preapplied thermal paste. Contact Intel, you have a cpu problem and want to rma it. They will ask you about the info that's etched on the cpu and In some cases the info that's on the cpu fan label itself, so have that ready. When it's all been answered, the will send you a email and you send the cpu out.  They might want you to send it back with the cpu protective cover.
