I expect that Prime95 will fail within a couple of errors, if the CPU is the problem.
As far as power issues go, full power should be reached within a few minutes, I'm guessing. Bottom line, run the test for at least an hour, but more than two is likely overkill.
Torture test completed 40 tests in 52 minutes - 0 errors, 0 warnings.
Try the Small FFTs test now. You might be best off now, RMAing the CPU and motherboard.
What were the temps Speedfan reported?
The temps seem fine, and I doubt they are the problem. If there were considerable dust buildup, you would have removed it during the installation.
Even new electronics fail, unfortunately. There is a certain chance any piece of hardware will arrive completely dead.
So I shall contact the site I bought it from and try to get it changed for a new CPU/motherboard?
Alright I shall contact the site I bought it from! Thanks Jonathan and have a happy new year!
