Do CPUs just die?

[Matthew-1985]

Hi All,

Bit of a weird issue. I'm have a Ryzen 3900X with a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master motherboard.

I tried to turn it on this morning and nothing happened. I removed the battery and put it back and now the fans spin, but nothing else happens.

The board LED shows error code 00 - The manual doesn't have a 00 code but does have a D0 which means CPU initialization error. The CPU LED on the board is also lit which means there's a CPU error.

I've not used AMD for nearly 20 years, so don't know if this is a common issue. Surely it wouldn't just die? Or could it still be a motherboard issue?

I've never overclocked it and the temps were always fine. It just seems really weird.

I tried those suggestions but no luck. The board did let me flash the BIOS, but still does the same. As soon as power is applied it starts up, but the button on the case and motherboard don't switch it off. Which seems weird.

The power supply is fine and works in a different system so it must be the CPU. How good is AMD's RMA process?
