CPU keeps dieing :(

James122332 · Sep 25, 2014

Two days ago i had taken the RAM out to change the way the Hyper 212 was facing i put it back in and it said there was only 4GB of RAM when i had 8GB installed (physically). I took both RAM out and put them back in and it wouldn't boot. I bought a new CPU and mobo it booted for 5 minutes and it still said 4GB installed in the BIOS, i took it out and changed the position of the RAM and again, it wouldn't boot. Now i'm suspecting the PSU is killing the CPU'S, Tomorrow i'm going back to the store that i bought the components at and telling them the PSU, CPU and RAM is dead. Is it the PSU?

It sounds like one of the sticks of RAM to me is dead or the RAM isn't seated properly?

Some boards can be a little finicky on which slots you must use, I would consult your manual and try each stick of RAM individually in the board in slot 1 (or A depending on board) to see which boots and which doesn't - may just need one stick replacing. It's least likely to be the CPU over anything else generally.

I don't know why you pulled the cpu out. Have you bent a pin?

Check your ram dimm slots - clean them. Check your ram with memtest86.

Mike_Tech :

I already tried that it didn't work.

James122332 · Sep 25, 2014

i7Baby :

I just bought the mobo and CPU and not the CPU's pins are fine.

James122332 · Sep 25, 2014

And the PC doesn't POST and no video to my monitor.

So is it only one slot that works or one stick of ram?

James122332 · Sep 25, 2014

i7Baby :

No matter how i put the RAM in it doesn't POST and there is not video to my monitor.

i7Baby · Sep 25, 2014

Have you bent a pin? (you need a magnifying glass)

James122332 · Sep 25, 2014

i7Baby :

I don't think so, because it booted fine the first time but said 4GB of RAM i took it out resated it and now it doesn't POST, beep or show ANYTHING on the monitor. Here is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/RpFNsY

Do you have another machine you can test the memory in to start with? I would also check for bent pins as recommended by i7, as if it's shorting it could cause random errors like your seeing or no POST.

Mike_Tech :

Not yet i am going to exchange the RAM and PSU tomorrow.

James122332 · Sep 25, 2014

Mike_Tech :

And also i don't think it's bent pin i didn't take out this CPU at all.

i7Baby · Sep 25, 2014

You said "I bought a new CPU and mobo" - so how did the cpu get put on the mobo?

James122332 · Sep 25, 2014

i7Baby :

It turned on so there must be no bent pins. I have a AMD FX-8320.

You avoided the question, so I gather you fitted the cpu.

I rest my case your honor.
