Hello,
I bought a cheap dell Optiplex 3020 pc off eBay for £40 delivered. I got it so I could give it to a kid that just wants to play Minecraft and other not so demanding games.
The motherboard is socket LGA1150. Came with a celeron CPU inside. I took the 2gb ram stick out and placed in a 8gb stick. Put in a spare Rx 560 I had as well as a 120gb. Installed Windows system worked fine but the celeron CPU was not upto par. So I upgraded the motherboard bios to the latest and got a second hand i5 4590s CPU.
As soon as that i5 is in the system. I get noting but bsod. I can't even get to the windows desktop. I take the i5 out and put celeron CPU back and it works fine.
So could this just be the case if a faulty CPU?
