I think my cpu is dead...
I have replaced every other component out with a working alternative, and still my pc wont boot. It turns on for a split second, then immediately turns off, every 3 or 4 boots, it gets a bit farther along and the HDD spins and then everything cuts out. I tested the HDD in another PC and it booted...
Swapped out PSU, disconnected all unnecessary accessories and still it does the same. No warning beeps or anything. XFX 750i mobo and C2D E7200. I used to run the CPU at about 3.1Ghz before I swapped out for a C2Q, could it be fried after going unused for almost a year?
I RMA'd my C2Q that was dead, but they claim to not have received it and I think USPS lost the package. Bought for $130 a year ago and now it's lost, so I tried to use this cpu.
