CPU Over-volting error

[Vinter]

Hello!

So a week ago I woke up and turned my PC on, as always. It posted, but showed me "CPU Overvolting error" and the only option that I have is to press F1 to get into bios.

So I built an old PC and tried to research what's the problem, but no luck solving it nor having any real answers. So here's some information:

PC SPECS:

- CPU: Intel i5 4590

- Mobo: ASUS H97 Plus

- RAM: 2x 4gb G.Skill 1333hz

- PSU: Corsair CX600M

- GPU: MSI GTX 970

- SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 120gb

- HDD: WD Blue 1tb

 

THINGS I TRIED:

- Disconnecting everything except CPU/Mobo - Same error.

- Defaults on bios, and reset cmos -- removed battery, etc. - Same error.

- I put the PSU on another computer, just to see if it worked at all. Seems to work fine, though it's on a very old E2140 / GTS250 machine. Socket 775 with IDE connections for hdds, oooh brings a tear to my eye.

 

THINGS I HAVE NOT TRIED, BUT I SHOULD ASAP:

- Another PSU, d'oh. Though for my defense, all my friends have crap computers with no 8 pin connector for cpus, and even some extra psu that I have lying around do not have that hefty 4+4 connector.

- Another CPU/Mobo. Same reason as above.

- Bring this to a computer repairing store. >.<

 

BIOS says that the CPU runs at 0.997V.

 

I might have forgot some details, if I did I'll edit the post later.

I assume you don't have an overclock?

I know it's a non K and a H board, but you never know these days.

 

Are the volts manual or auto?

I do not have an overclock, and since I've not touched anything volt related, I assume they're on auto.

Bump?

I know it's been like a month but I didnt have time to do anything until now. Used another PSU, brand new courtesy of a friend of mine and nothing, same error. So it's either the mobo or the CPU, sad news for a poor student with no money
