Help! Both CPUs broken?

[Mykl8]

Long story short, the power supply in my wife's PC died. I installed an older lower W power supply unit temporarily. I purchased a Thermaltake 850W and installed it but it wouldn't turn on, all it did was click and the CMOS error code would flash 00. So I tried the lower wattage power supply that I just removed and it does the same thing. I then tried her CPU in my PC as they are identical and my PC does the same as hers. I then tried my CPU in her motherboard and it again does the same with both power supplies. So then I decided that her CPU and motherboard are broken and need to be replaced and I reassembled my PC back with my CPU. Once I hit the power on my PC it turns on but reads 00 and doesn't do it's post bios checks.

 

Did I fry my CPU as well?

Are you sure you didn't put the PCIe power connectors where the CPU power connector is supposed to go?

You should've tried to clear the CMOS before trying a different CPU.

according to google, that code is "CPU not detected", so either they're dead or you're doing something wrong, check all the connections and if there are any problems with CPU pins

Very sure, they are labelled CPU

I removed the battery on my wife's motherboard for a few hours before trying my CPU. I just tried resetting the CMOS on my PC with no luck.

Yeah bedazzler's issue is the same as mine, must be that my CPU is fried

Ive ordered two CPUs and a motherboard, hopefully nothing else is broken...

[Mykl8]

Got two new 6800k CPUs in today, and my PC is back up and running. Just waiting for a motherboard to get wifeys online.

Both died?

I would really take a look at your cooling before you kill another one.

You didn't list any CPU coolers so I'm assuming you're using stock coolers?

 

Yea, invest in better coolers.

They don't even have to be expensive.

Just plug all of your parts for each case into pcpartpicker and see what coolers will fit your rigs.

If even a 20 dollar evo 212 fits, that's good enough.

[Mykl8]

I'm certain it isn't a cooling issue, we both have evo 212 coolers and in aida64 CPU temps don't ever go above about 65*C

Her PSU was under sized for the hardware we had installed which caused it to fail.
