• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Need some help please

I've had a few BSOD's while folding the last week. I thought it was just the new core 15 that's was doing it. When I reboot my rig it would take a very long time. Then it would take a super long time to get any applications to run.
This morning I was going to fire up another GPU, when I clicked on the V7 client I got nothing then it said v7 was Not Responding.
I rebooted several times but every time I get to the main screen anything I select is "not responding"
This rig is my 875k so I took the k boost off lowered the timing on the ram and rebooted to the same thing, getting hung up trying to open anything even task manager.

Is my CPU going out?

What I've done to try to fix it.
So I changed out the ram but same thing, it boots up to the main screen then hangs
I cleaned and re applied the TIM
I tried a restore point, nothing.
I went into safe mode with networking and was able to boot fine, I removed FAH client in case it was corrupt. I rebooted and I hang after the welcome screen when it turns black.
 
Sounds like a bad drive more than CPU, do you have a spare you can use for troubleshooting?
 
Doesn't particularly mean anything, I have a drive that works fine but can't format or install a new OS. Just saying if you have a spare that is pretty easy to check. I would highly doubt the CPU being the problem, motherboard possibly though.
 
+1

Seems you ruled out the memory. (Have you run MemTest?)

I agree with LigTasm. Try another hard drive.
 
Agreed with the above, it's extremely rare for a CPU to go bad. I'd check ram, hard drive and motherboard as those are the most likely culprits.
 
get a flash drive and boot off that, run prime95 or IBT to test cpu

get a flash drive and run memtest86 for several hours

do a chkdsk /r /f on the hard drive (if running from windows)

do a smart scan on the hard drive
