Good Morning! I purchased a Ryzen 7 5800x processor last year, which gave me great performance and perfect operation all year round.
However, this week I had a problem with it and I would like to understand what could have happened so as not to repeat the same error.
I always do my own cleaning on the computer, disassemble all the parts, change the thermal paste and put it back together. I had never had any problems with this processor during reassembly.
However, in the last reassembly, despite having reinstalled everything correctly, all cables and parts in their proper locations and orientations, and no processor pin bent, when I turned it on I felt a burning smell, and immediately turned it off.
After doing a lot of research, and performing several tests, I was able to confirm that, unfortunately, the problem was in the processor.
Although it still receives power, as it heats up when turning on the machine, it does not show any other signs of life, and the CPU light on the motherboard becomes permanently on.
The only mistake I remember making was changing the monitor power cable with the psu cable, but both are the same in terms of ddp, amperage and power.
I left my psu with an electrician friend who will check if it is delivering the correct power and voltage, until then I can't rule out the possibility that the source of the problem was the psu.
What do you guys think?
