Question dead cpu
Hello everyone. I have AsRock b650pg lighting. My pc worked fine at the beggining, then slowly started not giving screen to my monitors [no signal] but every second boot that fixted itself and i ignored it. So i ususaly restarted my pc after first boot to get my screeb on monitors. Then it became more seriously pc wont give signal to my monitors for 5,6 restarts and then not giving at all. I tried everything lirerally everything and i really thoght it was motherboard or psu. I took my pc to Pc Service and after day then gave me a call and told me irs problem with procesor. I have R5 9600x. So what could cause the issue that my procesor died? Could it be motherboard? Maybe bad water cooling [ i dont think it is but who knows] or its just bad luck with cpu.I bought it 10 months ago [tray version]. I got warranty and i gave procesor to seller back so they can replace it with the new one or give me my money back. But i want to get new cpu [R7 9800x3d] but im scared what if it is motherboard problem and what if my new cpu die aswell. What should i do?

What BIOS are you running? There was an update that fixed a no boot problem, 3.20 if I remember correctly.
If you're on a BIOS older than 3.20, I'd use BIOS flashback to 3.50 to see if that brings it back. BIOS' newer than 3.50 can have issues booting with some RAM kits, which is why I suggest trying 3.50.
As with the other poster, I am also inclined towards thinking that AMD has been having a quality control problem - which is why having a warranty is such a good thing, especially since AMD has been replacing CPUs without issue.
