Hello, yes I still do need help ; I am waiting on having the necessary components to do the tests, i will update then
 
Update :

I checked with a know stick of RAM (Corsair Vengeance DDR4 LPX),
A basic Intel CPU cooler,
And applied fresh thermal compound (I used one from a brand called "WE", I don't know if this is good)

None of these fixed the problem, does this mean that it comes from the CPU ? I got to buy a new one?
 
No, the last tests were done with the GPU in the PCI-E slot. I Can try without the GPU right now
 
Sorry about that -

Just done testing with the same components and without the GPU, the issue is still here.
 
Looking like an alternative CPU is going to be needed as it is the only component that has been present throughout, it may well be fine in a like for like Dell computer but as previously mentioned Dell modify hardware to suit lower power requirements meaning that the CPU is not compatible with third party MBs.

Just a word of caution, for any new CPU or one that you may be able to borrow for testing purposes, be sure to check that you have the latest BIOS that is available or any later CPU may not get recognised.
 
Alright. I am not able to borrow a CPU so I have to buy a new one. Which one would be a good choice? Considering the MDB has a 1151 socket
 
I would suggest that you get the present CPU tested before replacing it, if confirmed as being the cause, put up with it until you have the funds to upgrade to an i9 and some faster RAM.
 
Ok. I will update when all of this will be done, that may take some time.
 
To avoid us having to ask for an update every couple of days we will close this thread until the OP has the time available to work towards resolving the issue, PM a member of staff when you are ready and the thread can be reopened.
