Angry Won't boot in 64 bit : Maximus VIII Impact
CPU rarely dies unless they're OC way beyond and without proper cooling or during the P4/Athlon XP days, forget to install heatsink with thermal paste and they fried immediately.This is the 2nd time I've seen it. First one was a system I was working on, about 3-4 years ago. and your problems was similar to what I have encounter, so I knew it was your CPU.
For me, with the faulty CPU. Any 64bit OS will bsod when you log into the desktop for the very first time. But 32 bit works fine. Change everything and problem still exist. Finally changed CPU and problem went away. To verify, I used the original parts, with faulty cpu and did a clean install Win7 64bit (this is like the 10th time installing it). Desktop loads for the very first time, so far so good... few seconds later, bsod. Took out faulty cpu and swap with good one. OS runs great, hours without bsod. Put faulty cpu back, loads into desktop and... bsod.
