i7 dies for no reason

[LouisMartin]

Pretty sure my i7 6700k just died for no reason wooooh     I checked my mother board manual since there was a red led on the it said it was for the cpu so does this mean my cpu is just dead or what?

I got a aio water cooler and temps have always been fine power supply is corsair 850 gtx 1080.

Dont think theres any chance of waranty since i bought the cpu with a prebuilt pc which since i have upgraded so ya.

I used to have it badly overclocked for a while but after i bought a new motherboard i didnt have anything on it.

 

The thing that pissed me off the most was i was playing PUBG and i had an ak and scar fully stacked lol.

 

it just made a click sound through my headset and froze everything now it wont boot 

 

So does anyone have any info that could help me? should i just order a new cpu right now? thanks

does your board post?

 

if so, try downclocking the CPU to like 1.5GHZ and see if itll start windows.  Depending on the OC you had, it may have degraded the chip so it cant clock at stock frequencies and remain stable.

Have you reset the CMOS?

[BubblyCharizard]

do you have a different skylake cpu or board to check it with?

 

that could isolate the issue

 

modern intel chips are very good at not dying randomly like this

There are two methods, you could unplug the system and remove the cmos battery for a minute, or you can short the cmos reset pins (higher end motherboards have a switch for it cheaper ones require you to use a piece of metal, computer should be in off state for this)

 

Cmos battery image for reference (i reccommend this method if you have a lower end board or one without a switch in general)

There's usually a jumper on the board, if not you can just pull the battery out. Unplug it, cycle the power a few times to eliminate any remaining electricity in the motherboard, remove battery/jumper for a few seconds. This will reset CMOS.
