Hey there! I'm dealing with an ECS H81H3-M4 board paired with an Intel i5-4590 and an AMD Radeon R7 240. It's a budget build, and I recently upgraded the power supply to a second-hand Corsair VS650 650W unit. Despite that, the system still powers off when the graphics card is under heavy load. I checked my 400W PSU and thought it might be too weak, so I went for the used Corsair model with its warranty label intact. Still, the issue persists.

I've tried several fixes: running MemTest86+, stressing the CPU with Prime95 (it handled up to 90W), adjusting BIOS undervolting, but nothing worked. The graphics card itself is fine on my older build (Intel H55M chipset, i5-520). The main problem seems to be that the motherboard freezes or hangs when I try to reset or reboot after saving BIOS settings.

Any suggestions on what might be wrong or how to resolve this? Thanks!

The CMOS battery is functioning properly.

I worked on cleaning the socket pins—some bent a bit, which made me think I might have broken it but fixed it. Then I saw the CPU slightly bent near the edges and noticed a crack on the PCB. That’s not a good situation. The pins themselves are solid.

The integrated GPU functions properly. No need for further clarification.

Possible, perhaps. No, sadly I don’t have another CPU.

This is the area where the crack is impacting me.

It's clear I'm running low on funds now, so I'm inquiring if the seller would be willing to check the motherboard himself.

Likely I'll just send back the mobile if I can

The processor is damaged, so I purchased the motherboard along with it from someone, and I need to exchange both items.

This useful page I discovered while searching for LGA pin configurations. https://sector.biz.ua/docs/lga-775-1150-...outs.phtml
