It sounded bad: "New CPU installed (I didn’t touch that except the heat paste 3 hours ago). Chassis intrude! Please check your... (Don’t tell me I wasted a day just because the case was open...? Hmm, no, tried it still nothing then running fans). Fatal Error... System haltes."

08-03-2016, 07:45 AM #14Consider examining the device thoroughly by removing all residue and inspecting the socket. Replace it if necessary. If the issue persists, it likely points to a power supply problem—testing with a new one is advisable. You might want to check other PCs in your home for potential swapping.

08-03-2016, 03:50 PM #15It seems strange that after changing components like the RAM or GPU, I only get one boot issue instead of a different one each time. Even when I reset everything back to default, the same problem persists. The only PSU I have is an old 500W unit, but I’m not sure it can handle this setup. I don’t want to risk damaging my other working PC during these experiments.
It seems like the system is struggling to start because of power limitations. I’d suggest booting it with minimal settings—just CPU, motherboard, RAM, SSD, and GPU—using a 500W power supply. This should provide enough power without overloading anything, preventing damage. If the issue persists, check your BIOS for power delivery settings and ensure they’re set to standard mode rather than performance or save. After booting, try launching Windows directly from the BIOS.
