my issu,

 

my hard drive recently died and and went to pick a new one up today and started to install windows onto it.

it was all going smoothly until i come back and find my machine off. i restarted my machine and this is where i start getting the issues. Somoetimes when i am trying to boot it the whole thing just crashes then starts turning off and on. I have figured out how to solve that problem. my next and main issue is my cpu is running at 100C. i thought this must be a mistake at first but i took the heat sync off and that thing is burning up. i replaced the thermal paste with no sucess of lowering the temperature. My thery is the MOBO/BIOS is dead/corrupted and is giving way to much voltage to the cpu. I have had my machine for about a year now.

another issue i have is when i turn my psu off the whole system turns off fine but when i turn the psu back on it starts by itself without me pusing any on button. i thought it could be the front panel connecters glitching out but i unpluged all of them and the problem is still going on.

 

i let the cpu cool down by turning the psu off (not unpluging it) but when i turn the psu on and it starts to boot i can feel the cpu getting crazy hot. 

First check all your connections. Power and data.

Your new hdd is probably a turd - very common for seagate drives. Send it back if thats the case.

Haswell chips are inherently hot but it sounds like your heatsink isnt correctly installed. I do assume you have removed any overclock as well.

Pretty sure your unit is a rebadged Andyson unit of which is one of the worst psu oems around. So I wouldnt be surprised that there is something faulty with it that playing silly buggers with your motherboard as well.

Now by you saying the cpu is getting crazy hot (the end of your post) I do hope you havent booted without a heatsink on the cpu, thats a great way to kill either your cpu and/or board.

If you can test your parts in another machine thats the quickest way to find whats stuffed. Otherwise take it to a store and for a carton of beer or a fee you can get a diagnosis of what wrong.

My heatsink was leaky getting a newone tomoro hopefully that'll solve problems
