Hi guys,
Long story short my PC was turned on downloading warzone overnight (so under no load with ONLY call of duty launcher open) and i heard it shut off suddenly by itself in the morning. I was presented with multiple BSOD and it wouldn't boot.
After a full day of comprehensive troubleshooting (RAM, BIOS firmware/reset, PSU swap) it came down to the CPU as I put a friends chip into my motherboard and my PC launched first time with no errors. Tried reseating my i7-8700K again and it failed again with the same BSOD loop of errors.
Can a CPU just fail suddenly and shut off a PC? If my motherboard or PSU caused this to fail why did it work with my friends CPU with zero problems for over an hour testing.
Thank you
Regards
Seamus
