    Computer shutting down and one dead CPU.

    A couple days ago my pc started turning off by itself and I don’t think it was due to overheating because the CPU and GPU temperatures were always below 70C.
    After this happened a few times the fans and lights would work but there would be no display output and the CPU ez debug light was on which according to the manual means a faulty or missing CPU.
    Also, there are no other noticeable problems with any other components.

    I replaced the CPU with another i7 7700k and it worked great for a couple hours before it shut down again.
    I have not turned the computer back on as I am worried the new CPU will also be damaged.

    I would like to know what might be causing the issue or a possible fix. Thanks.

    My computer:

    CPU: Intel Core i7-7700k
    CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
    Motherboard: MSI z270 gaming pro carbon
    RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16gb DDR4-3000
    GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming
    PSU: Corsair RMx 850w 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX

    Welcome to PCHF stan4357,

    You are caughr between a rock and a hard place as you need to power up to be able to do any testing.

    Couple of questions if I may;

    Have you been overclocking at all.

    Do you still have the original i7-7700k processor.
