Troubleshooting my PC and i7-2600K CPU fail IPDT's PCH test. Is this the cause for fail update?

[KTupm]

Hello

This is my first post so sorry if this post may be out of place but I am having some issue with my PC. Recently, it's fail to boot after Windows' updates quite often. I ran the test and the CPU fail the PCH test. I was wondering if this failure may contribute to the fail updates. The test result and the screenshot is posted below.

Thank you in advance.

Hello k@rn,

Welcome to our community and I hope you find very helpful this site.

Most of the times if running the Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool and test fail it is because there is a problem with the processor.

I recommend you updating the BIOS in your system first to the latest provided by the Computer Manufacture and then trying updating the graphics driver.

Here you can check some instructions for the installation:

/docs/DOC-22542 https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-22542

Once you have done these steps, try running the Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool again and if it fails again I recommend you contacting your local support or our chat support for possible replacement:
