Hi folks, hope you are doing great!
What I am gona tell is a little drama happened to my CPU. Long story short - my CPU 5950X got fried/replaced 4th time for a row now (past 1w), and thankfully by warranty coverage I got it for free. A few weeks ago blue screen started appearing constantly with WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR when browsing or using some UI stuff for EX using adrenaline software - frequency for BSOD appearance can be 1-5 min, but weird thing when entering & playing a game about 3-4h straight none of this happens.
So I did,
Step 1: delivered PC to seller and he replaced 3 new components - a motherboard, CPU, RAM.
Step 2: BSOD happens again, & sometimes when turning PC off CPU red light appear on motherboard -> REPLACED CPU 2nd time.
Step 3: PC won’t boot up & CPU red light sign popping up on motherboard - so I got CPU replacement once again.
Step 4: Guess what - right! Seller replacing now a motherboard, CPU and +CPU cooler all over again, additionally he told he has suspicion that cooler doesn’t work properly.
OMG what a loop!
The situation above kinda funny but I try to stay calm
I would really appreciate for any idea on what can cause my CPU to fry. Is it possible PSU be that criminal?
