thx for answering. The only thing left is to open my PC and see what the hell is going wrong D


Indeed, I did also read this can be the CPU not correctly aligned in the socket on the main board

Lol .. funniest "tech answer" ever. You get 100 points for quoting this nonsense. If you force your chip carrier incorrectly into a chip socket, you get grinding noises and game over. If you bend a few pins of the carrier while fumbling, you get a stinking smell when switching on the pc and game over....


Please don't question my answers when you've clearly got no idea what you're on about.  Its a known issue with the i7 CPU that the socket is flaky and in particular simply clamping the board too tightly with some heatsinks cause board flex that produces this issue.  Try doing some research before you wade in making an ass of yourself.  Bending CPU pins doesn't cause a burning smell on power on as you normally get no actually power on in most cases due to the post process not detecting the CPU.  in this instance the issue can be a poor connection with the portions of the chip that run the memory controller.  Also you don't get any "grinding" noise so that's garbage too.

Now kindly go away before I have to make you look really stupid.
