I was looking online for this issue and found a few posts. Ive tried everything (HPET disable, use older driver, remove and reinstall driver, put sound card on different PCIe slot, put sound card on another win 10 PC) and the issue persists. I have a 5.1 audio setup and have the speakers...

I also bought the motherboard used so I am not sure if it's the proc or the motherboard but with that damage underneath the processor it would seem it's the processor. Has anyone else seen something like that before and had it work?

I tried paring it with an MSI X99S SLI Plus motherboard but it only restarts, never shows video. I don't see any error messages but the cmos clear light blinks and the power light and reset lights are lit.

Used on ebay. E5-2670 v3

The second picture shows the spots better against the light. You may need to zoom in.

Hi. I bought a processor and it came with these marks on the bottom of the processor. Has anyone seen anything like this? Doesn't seem to boot when I install it. Unfortunately I have no other cpu to test the motherboard with. 1 2 3

I hate to bring this back up but I have a E5-1607 V3 and I just bought an MSI X99S. Does anyone know if this CPU is compatible. Its not listed on the MSI site.
