Hi,
I’m having one of the strangest problems and I think my CPU has died for good this time, some context, I built this PC 2 year ago and only after 3-4 moths i thought the CPU died while I was playing Forza Horizon 4, mid race the computer hit me with a hardware blue screen and refused to boot after, so I did the only think I could think of and reseated absolutely everything with no success, after a lot of trouble shooting I decided to put my Pentium CPU I used to update the bios so I could use the i7 and to my surprise the PC booted, I used it with the Pentium for like a week and instead of returning the CPU and getting a new one I decided to put it back and try again after like a week. It booted just normal and has worked normally until a few days ago, in the 2 year I had it I cleaned it and reapplied the thermal paste like 3-4 time, but nothing recently. A few days ago a friend was over and decided to play Forza Horizon 5 and to my surprise the PC hit him with a blue screen he restarted and tried again and the blue screen again. We left it and went out and when I came back the PC wouldn’t boot at all, I tried reseating everything and nothing, no error on the motherboard light, just the VGA flashing for a second, I went digging for the Pentium and once in the PC it booted like normal, I waited a few days and tried with the i7 again but nothing, I think it’s just dead. I’m not blaming Forza for this and I have played it on this system with no problems both 4 and 5 I just think it’s a crazy coincidence. My theory is that it may have overheated and died, but if anyone has any ideas as to what else may be going on, I would appreciate your help.
Specs:
CPU: i7 9700k
Motherboard : MSI h370 gaming pro carbon
GPU: MSI 2080 Ventus
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz 8GB x4
PSU: Corsair TX750M
