I would honestly hate to have 2 defective motherboards in a row if that was the case... (Last time it was the audio Jack's though which didn't matter much) right now I'm running hci memtest. I've also reduced ram speed to 3200 which is officially supported by the CPU so if it crashes now I'm going to assume a CPU defect...
Also can't seem to run any unity games for longer than 10 minutes now from escape from tarkov to monster train.
So i guess i should update you guys. I sent the CPU back to my local pc store i bought it from. Apparently it did have a few bent pins (which i would think the PC wouldn't boot up for those) which unfortunately wouldn't be covered by warranty but it could explain all the BSOD's i have been having. Strange thing is this time i was able to get CPU out of its socket no issues but i remember originally when i was first replacing the thermal paste for the CPU after about a year or so it got stuck on the noctua heatsink. I guess it could have bent sometime then.
They are currently trying to unbend them and see what happens then. Dunno if it will be shipped back to me or sent to AMD but at least its something.
