customer dropped off parts for a new computer build , he tried to build it himself and it would boot but shutoff after 5 seconds, tried thermal paste on original processor and still no go. Had a different processor laying around that I tried in it and it worked fine, thinking the customer might have fried the first CPU I told him to get a replacement, which he did. I go to put it in yesterday and it also just boots up for a few seconds and shuts down. the cpu is compatible with the motherboard so im at a loss for the reason for it not to work
