Didn't realize that. Thnx! Started looking into it the other night. Newegg is useless so I'll go thru Intel directly.

At this point, basically parts for another PC so I ordered a case... Tried a new power supply (same model...EVGA 750W G2) but same behavior. Tried new RAM sticks for grins but no joy.

Ordered MB from Amazon and got it last Sunday but had no time until yesterday to do anything. I had a sense that the MB might have been a return. Exposed the MB proc socket yesterday and....bent pins. Fook. Ordered the same MB (ASRock Killer) and another one for delivery today.

Looked at the pins on the 'old' MB and pads on the proc and everything looks in order (nothing bent or scorched). No thermal grease (Arctic Silver) spread to anything conductive.

Not sure if I want to try the new proc on the old MB or wait for the new MB and try the old proc. MB's are cheaper so I'll probably go that route.
