Possible CPU issue intel i7 2600

[Gunther YES THAT GUY]

Possible processor problem ? So here my issue. A couple of months ago, I decided to change my cpu cooler in my pc. To make the story short, when everything was installed back, the pc will turn on for 1 sec, fans and cpu cooler runned, then immediately shut down. So, I tough, OK, I destroyed the motherboard, got a new one, this time a gigabyte, and again, exactly the same issue. So before buying a new motherboard, I decided to try and isolate the problem. So I took all the pc, and just boot the motherboad with the cpu and psu, nothing same issue, SO, i tough, maybe the PSU is failing, tried with another one, same wattage, and same fricking thing.

My question is, could the CPU be dead ? and the motherboard shuts itself off, as soon as it detects something wrong ? By the way, when isolating the problem, the motherboard was not inside the case.

And if anyone is selling a Intel 2600k, let me know.

You did apply thermal paste and the cooler is seated properly?

Try booting with just one ram stick, look up the correct dim slot for a single stick in your manual.

I think your CPU is overheating thou. Without thermal paste(some coolers don't come with any, u buy it separate) or a properly seated cooler the system would shut right down! (so the CPU doesn't burn up) You can't even make it to the bios menu.

Of course. I cleaned the cpu first with ARTICLEAN, and the applied thermal paste. Trust me, is not a thermal paste issue. I used 2 different brands, ic diamong and another one I cant remenber know.

Well that is good to hear; doesn't solve your problem thou...
But testing the ram, one stick at a time is still worth a shot.

Tried that too, no ram, and with one stick or ram, same issue. What I'm starting to think is that the gold pins on the cpu are screwed, either by manipulation, or because some articlean might have touch that side. Only way to test my theory would be getting a new cpu or having someones else tested.

Whenever I do a new build I just cringe. I just did a 2700K(last of the soldered goodness) build last week and it was in a high end Z77 Asus board. When I locked the lever on the socket closed I just shook my head, took a surprising amount of force. And the pins are so close together on LGA 1155 (1150, ...ect).

So although it would suck having a pin screwed. I could see that happening. However years ago Intel reversed the design to protect themselves. The CPU has the pads now and the motherboard the pins. Have a close look at the pads on that CPU.

Would be nice to have an i3-2100 to trouble-shoot with, possibly eliminate the rest of the build.

Intel does have a 3 year warranty on the 2600K. And that chip hasn't even been out three years yet. But RMAing it to Intel might be a nightmare?

I could try sending it for RMA, but the obvious thing first is to test the motherboard with another cpu. I wonder if the ARTIC CLEAN LIQUID damaged the pins in the cpu. I read on another forums, the material is non conductive, so In theory it should not affect the proccesor.
