MY Core i7 860 processor is heating up a lot

kktrocks — Tue, 08 Jun 2021 14:36:44 GMT

My processor is heating up a lot while starting the PC itself. The computer doesn't start. As soon as I power-on the computer, with-in 15-20 seconds, the processors get heated up too much and the PC doesn't start.

I tried with another i7 processor and the computer started well without any heat.

Here is my configuration:

INTEL Core i7 -860 2.8 GHz

Motherboard: Zebronics H55

FAN: Zebronics

RAM: Samsung 16GB

4 GB graphics card

Clean the heatsink.

Make sure the chassis and cpu fans are working.

Re-apply the thermal paste.

Insure there is adequate ventilation.

We had tried that, unfortunately, the PC still didn't start. With another CPU, it started instantly.

I tried locating my CPU with batch number and serial number but couldn't locate it on Intel website. I had bought the PC from Amazon a few months back.

Are you saying that you upgraded to the i7-860?

Did you verify that the motheboard bios supports this processor?

Did you verify that the processor is known to be good?

I didn't upgrade. I had tested with another working CPU just to make sure where the problem lies.

I had received this PC with the configuration mentioned in my original post and yes Zebronics H55 motherboard supports CORE i7 Processor 800 series.

https://zebronics.com/products/zeb-h55-socket-1156

Supported CPU

Intel Core i7-800/i5-700/i5-600/i3-500 series processors in LGA 1156

The PC was working well till May and suddenly stopped 1 day. Upon checking I found the issue with power-supply and motherboard and got them replaced but even after that, it didn't start because processor was faulty.

So waiting for Intel support team to replace the processor.

"So waiting for Intel support team to replace the processor. "

Not going to happen. This is a 2009 processor, which means it is 12-years old, long out of warranty, and long discontinued.

But I received it with my new assembled PC in Oct 2020 only. It didn't even complete an year. So what can be done?

Also, I see that it is still being sold online by many merchants including Amazon. So if it happens to any of the customer, how s/he is going to get it replaced?

Contact your reseller/supplier.

Hard to imagine that someone is making "new" 12-year old PCs.

As always, on sites like amazon and ebay, buyer beware.

I had called the Amazon support and they asked to reach out to manufacturer for the defective part. So my motherboard and power supply was rectified by Zebronics and now the processor needs to be rectified to bring up the PC in running state.

Sounds like a refurbished computer, right? Problem is, they can put old parts in!

...And they are your only source of warranty!

Nowhere they mentioned that it was refurbished one. All the parts were new when I checked but i didn't check that i7 processor 860 is of 2009. We can't get to know this unless problem occurs and we take the CPU out.

Like I said, buyer beware.

Even if the processor was still working, you would be unsupported on Windows 10 (if that is your goal).

You can probably get a functional processor off of ebay for a very reasonable price, but you would still have system worth little.

Take it back to the seller, who may refund you, or get you a working processor. There is nothing that can be done here.

I tried with another processor and this one also gets heated too much. So there looks be to some other problem. Also computer gets restarted after 30 seconds to 1 min.

Also my windows not getting started properly and I am seeing below Error codes:

Stop Code: BAD POOL HEADER

STOP CODE: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED

STOP CODE: IRQL NOT LESS THAN OR EQUAL

STOP CODE: KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE

Does this mean is there any problem with the cabling?

Or there might be a problem with some parts of the motherboard?

I recently purchased a new computer, but I looked at a lot first. I saw there's plenty of people selling refurbished computers where they hide "refurbished" in the fine print. A lot of Amazon resellers are bad about this ... surprised Amazon lets them get away with it. If the price looks like a really good deal, that's a clue!

To be clear, when you purchase a system product, your warranty comes from the system supplier. You have no warranty from Intel. The system supplier has a warranty with Intel, however, and can get the processor replaced. You cannot. Bottom line, the supplier of this system must replace the processor if it is defective - presuming you actually received a warranty with the supplier; I am suspecting not.

I wonder if a processor deteriorates from time in storage even if you don't use it? If it got old enough, it seems like there might be some degradation, no?
