I recently purchased components to put together for a friend.
I keep getting issues with the build. Before I get an RMA on one of the components, I want to make sure I've got the right part.
These are the parts used:
MSI HD 7850 OC 2048MB Graphics Card
AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8320 Black Edition 3.50GHz CPU
ASRock 970 Extreme4 AMD 970 (Socket AM3+) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
GeIL EVO Leggera 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz RAM
OCZ ZS Series 550W '80 Plus Bronze' PSU
Firstly the issue was the CPU temperature was idling in BIOS at 50c and the CPU fan was running fast to keep it cool. Reseating the CPU and cooler did not solve the problem. So a few days later there was a slight burning smell and the computer would no longer boot and the motherboard would not post.
I took it to a local store where they replaced the processor for a AMD 6 Core @ 3.5Ghz, they explained it looks like the CPU had burnt out..and died. So I thought that may have been the problem solved. After a few more days it seems I've got the same problems. The build was still running hot, not the PC does not boot. I can't afford another processor to be put in and just burned out. So I disconnected all the components just had RAM, CPU(could be dead now), Motherboard and PSU on a cardboard box.
I've put it down to either the Motherboard or the PSU?
Anyone experienced anything like this? Do you think the CPU's are dead? is there anything I can do about them, if another component caused it?
Do you think its a faulty motherboard?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
