This is a rebuild of the Core 4770k machine. The machine started spontaneously shutting off, then entering a “power-on for 3 seconds and power-off” loop. After cooling down, it would stay running for ~20 minutes, then shutdown. BIOS says the CPU only hit 34C. 1st troubleshoot: replace the PSU. 2nd troubleshoot: dust blow out. 3rd troubleshoot: replace thermal paste on CPU. 4th troubleshoot: manually set the CPU fan to +250% speed.<\/p>\n

Some facts on the CPU: it is currently #437 on PassMark [12,375] cpubenchmark.net<\/a>. Once again, CPUs in the top-50 are just no longer in reach. (The first sub-$500 CPU is #59 [32,898] AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT. The first sub-$500 Intel is #126 [25,150] Intel Core i7-11700K at $390). Plus, this was a “budget choice” for a “general purpose computer”. It currently serves mostly as an email station.<\/p>\n

The CPU, motherboard and RAM were changed out. The other pieces stayed the same as the Core 4770K. Using budget-priced pieces, the rebuild still cost $360.<\/p>\n

On the topic of upgrades – somewhere in the last 8 years, the OS was upgraded to Windows 10.<\/p>\n
