I think my 5900x just died on me

South east
So after trying everything from reseating everything, new thermal paste, one ram stick, changing bios settings the works
I still can't get past the splash screen into windows
Googling the issue turns up results of other people having similar issues and it turning out to be the cpu at fault.

My warranty is out by 2 months typically and I can't afford to buy new

Aorus elite x570 mobo and ryzen 9 5900x if anyone is wondering or had the same issue.

Anyway if anyone is near the south east(brighton area) with a ryzen 7 or 9 cpu I could use to test my system to see if it is indeed the cpu I'd be so grateful I don't want to have to buy a second hand one only for it not to be the cpu and be unable to return it.

Thanks for reading

I appreciate that it shouldn't be the motherboard, I can get into bios fine I just can't get past splash screen to windows or boot into a recovery USB drive which certainly points to a cpu issue I'm pretty sure that is cpu
 
So I was following some other threads in regards to 5900x problems and one suggested disabling global c states.
Tried it and was able to boot into windows first time
Absolutely a weird cpu issue by the sounds of it and I'm not the only one out there with a faulty 5900x
 
I know its out of warranty by 2 months but maybe get in touch with AMD and see what they can do?

If they say No then you are no worse off than you are now, if they say yes then win win!

Then it's unlikely to be a CPU issue (but see below). Have you tried booting to another device? Memtest USB stick?

That said, I had an issue ~30 years ago whereby OS/2 would work fine for a while but Windows NT would crash almost immediately. It turned out to be a bent CPU pin, one use for addressing memory. The difference in speed of crashing was due to the different ways the two OSs assigned memory - top down vs bottom up, I think.

Tried everything i can think of, wont even boot into usb recovery stick however disabling global c-states just now and it booted instantly.
Everything i can find on the issue points to the CPU being at fault as its a documented issue with early 5900x's and silicone degradation

There were quite a few threads I remember reading of CPUs on this forum where they couldn't run stably with c-states enabled and had to be returned (which fixed it). Don't know if yours is the same issue.
