System failure detected, unable to power on.
I acquired an i5 6500T but it seems to be functioning without any visible issues. It appears operational in the BIOS, recognizes all installed RAM, and voltage adjustments don’t impact performance. Downclocking also doesn’t cause problems. Other CPUs work normally, and the Windows installation on an SSD isn’t serving as a bootable Linux environment on USB. I’m confused and frustrated because I planned to use this processor in a gaming PC built for an Xbox One case. The setup includes an ASUS Z270-P motherboard, 16GB DDR4 memory, Crucial M500 SSD, Intel Core i5 6500T (unclear if it works), a cooler, and an EVGA PSU.
The SSD contains a brand new Windows installation. I can create a bootable Windows USB and walk you through the process, though I’m confident it will produce identical results.
I completed that and it starts up but keeps looping indefinitely.
Turn off the CSM feature and attempt to boot from the Windows installation media using a USB drive.
