No, your CPU isn't toast. It's functioning properly.
Last week I was using Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered during a campaign mission when my system stopped working suddenly. Everything seemed fine except for a failing drive and I had no idea why. This has never happened before—my specs were Intel Core i5 12600k, MSI MPG B760i, 32GB SSD, Crucial DDR5 Pro 5600, and an Arch Linux setup with KDE Plasma. The issue started after a power cut, and I didn’t notice any other problems.
The device isn't functioning properly—it shut down and didn't restart. It could be a common, unreliable power supply unit.
The review mentioned a problem with the PC failing to start after shutdown. Could you clarify if you're asking about a specific issue or need further details?
It didn't restart properly, there were no signs of the motherboard lighting up, and the only illumination came from the GPU's red power indicator.
It turns out I misplaced a motherboard connector on my PSU because of my own error. It was costly, but at least I learned from it. Appreciate the assistance!
The 24-pin side wasn’t fully connected, which likely caused the shutdown. Other problems exist in the assembly, so I’ll begin fresh using components from my latest build in a new enclosure.
It starts up properly now. Probably just a loose 24-pin MMO connection at the beginning. I’ll still swap the cases, but it’s reassuring to know I’m in good shape. Thanks for the guidance on my setup—have a great holiday!
