    i5-760 No POST


    Question: I have a i5-760 processor system which has been working for last 3 months. When I came to it today the screen was frozen, so I rebooted...tried. OK I had to shut it OFF. Restarted...it did not want to restart. Is is possible that the CPU is fried? I am not getting it to BOOT, or POST, nothing. The temp on it the last few times I checked was around 45-50C.

    I was under the impression that if the processor got hot it would shut OFF? Is it possible that it died? / Fried?

    The CPU fan and all fans in the box work... GPU fan works. but no POST.

    The board is an ASUS P7H55D-M EVO. Then I took it out and used a spare i3 CPU and it works fine... Can a CPU just die like that?

    What else can I try ... I have never had a processor die on me... I still have my old Z86 (not used any more) an it never died.

    Suggestion on what else can I try to revive my i5-760? or is it dead.?

    If it worked previously with the i5 and doesn't work now - but it does work with the i3 - then I'd have to assume that it's dead. There's no known tricks that I know of to repair a CPU. Just to be sure I'd try the i5 in another motherboard - but wouldn't hold my breath hoping that it'll work.

    Sorry! :0(

    Now I need to figure out why it died, so that the one I just ordered does not meet the same faith. You would think Intel could figure that if temp > x then shut off CPU not let it fry.

    live and learn. Thank you
