You might suspect a faulty CPU if the system functions normally with the older one. It's best to replace the power supply even then, and consider submitting a return merchandise authorization for the CPU, as they may simply send it back.
Mr Kagouris:
It's possible the CPU might be faulty if the PC functions normally with an older one. I suggest replacing the PSU, but consider filing an RMA for the CPU—at best they'll return it.
Yes, AMD handles their RMA well. Just a hassle shipping it to Miami.
my pc is functioning perfectly with my old cpu. i plan to run some tests while overclocking, but it seems fine so far. i’ll return the amd fx 8320e to amazon and see if they can refund me since i bought it yesterday or check if it was defective.
I am returning the CPU now and plan to purchase a new PSU in two weeks. Should I also buy the same CPU with the new PSU, or would you have any suggestions for my current setup?
