No, your CPU is not broken. It's functioning properly.

I just started my PC to play games, entered the login password in Windows, and then the screen went black. I built this machine three days ago, thinking it was just a timing issue with memory. But now it won’t power on at all—it shows “00” on the display. The error says there’s a problem with the CPU. I tried resetting the CMOS, but it didn’t help. My specs are: Ryzen 7 7800X3D, GSKILL Trident Z5 RGB 2x16GB DDR5 @ 6400MHz, ASUS Roge Crosshair X670E, and I forgot the exact specs. What should I do? It still powers on but doesn’t boot into BIOS or Windows.
Details? These components often point to memory, graphics, or video memory problems rather than the CPU.
I’m using my IGPU and I’m expecting a new GPU next week. It seems to be working with light games like Fortnite. That might explain the issue you’re seeing, possibly linked to the CPU. I also didn’t mention doing a 400MHz overclock on the IGPU, but it’s been stable for three days so that could be unusual.
The iGPU on Ryzen 7000 isn't functioning properly during manual memory overclocking and should be turned off. This caused the artifacting you experienced. The problem seems to stem from incorrect readings—possibly indicating the CPU is faulty or the board is malfunctioning. I’m aware of some AM5 boards where the Clear CMOS fails, requiring a brief removal while unplugged. It might help to verify if your board has this issue. Also, confirm you’re using the most recent BIOS; older versions with strict pre-SOC voltage limits can cause similar failures.
I updated to the latest version 1.0.0.7b, which handles high memory frequencies well. I achieved 7000 stable runs. I plan to test the CMOS setting first, then try a CPU reseat. Regarding the thermal paste, it’s only been there for three days—unclear if it’s sufficient.
I changed the CPU again but it didn’t work. It still shows 00. I’ll wait until my dad gets home, he’s familiar with computers and might assist. If I replace it, should I mention that I didn’t turn on Expo or PBO?
