CPU going insane

[The Belgian Waffle]

Hi guys,

 

Long story short, I came to the conclusion that the guy who sold me my system didn't treat it well because when I got it I had to reapply thermal paste since it was completely dry so the CPU was running full tilt at 90°c on the bios screen, lol.
Anyway, is it possible that this killed the CPU?

I bought a used i5 4440 and it runs no problem on the system, but when I try to boot with the "old" one (so the 4460s), the machine boots but there's no signal output and the peripherals do not light up.

 

Any ideas?

Could it potentially be compatibility issues. Is your cpu compatible with your motherboard?

Yup, the BIOS is up to date and supports the CPU

Maybey its just a dead chip?

Modern CPUs veeeery rarely die becouse of heat.

It didn't came dead because I used it, but it always had that problem where when I booted the computer up I wouldn't straight up see any image, even tho Windows was fully running

What could it be then?

I wonder if the guy before you also had it running full tilt all the time at 90c and just never gave a fuck, that probably would have screwed it up

He told me he never opened the system but to put a graphics card in it. It was also very dusty
