In all my years of building, using and working with PC's I have never had a CPU fail just like that. I wend down to my PC this morning and noticed the computer was off. Trying to start it up, the ASUS Deluxe II just have a 00 on the q code and a red light saying CPU failure.
Changed the power supply, removed all ram etc, no difference.
I had no choice but to go out and buy a new motherboard and CPU to find where the issues was.
Started with the motherboard. No difference! Swapped the CPU and all is now OK.
The only overclock on this was the XMP profile from the ram. Nothing else. Voltage stock.
Just how common is this?
