Have you ever had a CPU die on you for no reason?

No, they always give you a reason first...

Maybe the OP should seek hardware component counselling.

Yeah for some reason it didn't like running 500 Mhz above spec

come to think of it, the only PC component that ever died on me was an IBM "deathstar" HD drive

Same, not touched IBM since either lol.

Yes. It was a PII 266. The POS died and I had to buy another one.

Yes a Cyrix P166+ from 1996. Died in May 2000. System producing all kinds of GPF. Figured it was Windows 95 screwing up. Booted off another disk in DOS and it would get program execution errors trying to run FDISK and FORMAT! Hahaha. Yes the cpu was FUBAR.

I sent it to the EDM room and they cut the cover off so I could see the die. That was on my desk for the longest time and probably still is.
