Is My CPU Dead ???

[Amal Dev]

Hey guys my motherboard is MS 7613 ver1.1 with i3 530@ 2.93 GHz ..today I got an i5 750 and so I removed the cooler and i3 and inserted the new i5 with new thermal paste.. and connected everything ...but when I power on the pc there is no display ...then I reinserted  the i3 and it worked fine....

So what is the problem here??? 

Why don't I have display with the i5 ??

I tried restoring CMOS but nothing changed...plz help... also I booted with the gtx 760 as the i5 need a GPU...the CPU gets heated , so does the cooler...but no display and no light on keyboard. Plz help..

Make sure the power control header (Power switch, HDD light, power light) doesn't require any pin jumping cables. I had the exact same issue last night with my Dell motherboard, and jumping the required pins fixed the issue.

where did you get that i5? Is that corrosion around the heat spreader?

did you update the BIOS?

looks like horrible thermal paste application to my eyes.

But what about the bottom of the chip? It looks like that chip has had some major water damage to me.

if it's water damage, the contact points should see corrosion as well.

I believe the pads are gold on the LGA chips. Gold is a noble metal that doesn't corrode.

I had to correct my post. The CPU is supported.

[Amal Dev]

My motherboard support the i5 750

Where did you get the CPU. It looks in terrible shape. Do you know if it worked before you installed it?

The CPU heating up only means it is converting electricity to heat. It doesn't automatically mean it is working properly.

You are taking someone's word. We already know your motherboard works with your i3 and is compatible with the i5 you just got. But to me that CPU looks like it found it's way out of the bottom of a pond. If you paid for it and can get your money back then that is the route I would take if I were you.

Ok I'll ask for refund ...so the CPU is dead ??

Let me put it this way. Without troubleshooting it by trying it in another known good system or putting a proven good i5 in yours it is impossible to say for 100% sure. It seems neither is an option for you. For comparison here are photos of my core i7 CPU which has been handled and stored properly. It is still in perfect working order. It does not matter if the CPU is 10 years old. It should not look like that poor i5

So the problem is with my i5 right ??? Or should I try once more ???

I think maybe you missed what I said?

If you don't have the know how or the means to properly test that CPU there is no way to make that call. But based on the symptoms you describe, the condition of the CPU, and the fact that the guy that sold it to you did not prove it worked all points to a defective CPU being your problem.

[Amal Dev]

Should I try one last time or confirm that the CPU is dead....

[Razor Blade]

If you want to try it, then go for it. Unless you somehow installed it improperly the first time (is that even possible with a ZIF socket?) you'll likely be getting the same result.

 

If I were you, I would not bother. Try to return it.

The dude said that he was using the CPU and it was working....it gets heated too ....but it's hard for me to return it ....as he is way from my place ...

You took his word though. Do you know the person? If so even better call him up! Heat is a byproduct of the CPU and is NOT an indication of it being fully operational.
