How can check CPU Problem

To check for CPU problems, you can follow these steps. These apply to desktop/laptop systems:


πŸ” 1. Visual Inspection (Basic)

  • Turn off the PC and unplug it.
  • Open the case and check if:
    • CPU fan is working.
    • There's dust or damage on the CPU socket or heatsink.
    • Thermal paste is dried out or missing.

⚠️ 2. Symptoms of CPU Problems

Check if you're seeing these issues:

  • No display or boot.
  • Random restarts or shutdowns.
  • Beeping sounds from motherboard.
  • Overheating.

πŸ§ͺ 3. Use BIOS / UEFI

  • Reboot the PC and enter BIOS (press DEL, F2, or F10 depending on your motherboard).
  • Check CPU temperature and if it's being detected.
  • If CPU is not detected = problem with CPU or socket.

🧰 4. Use Diagnostic Software (If system boots)

If Windows is running, use tools like:

  • 🧠 CPU-Z – To check CPU info and real-time status.
  • πŸ’‘ HWMonitor – To monitor temperature and voltage.
  • πŸ§ͺ Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool (for Intel CPUs).
  • πŸ§ͺ AMD Ryzen Master (for AMD CPUs).

🧯 5. Overheating Test

  • Monitor CPU temperature:
    • Idle: ~35–50°C
    • Under load: <90°C
  • If temperature rises quickly = fan/thermal paste issue.

πŸ”„ 6. Try with Another CPU / Motherboard (if possible)

If nothing else helps:

  • Test your CPU in another compatible motherboard.
  • Or test another working CPU in your motherboard.

πŸ“Note:

  • Many issues that seem like CPU problems are actually:
    • Faulty RAM
    • Dead motherboard
    • Bad SMPS (power supply)
    • BIOS corruption
