There should be something and AMD likely (As all other manufacturers) don't find it worth the effort due to Mean time between failure rates of new processors being so high. This is somewhere between the MB POST and operating system and like other posts on this thread they are right in that is a tough thing to accomplish. POST tests booting up is still a good catch all and if the MB goes past ability to make changes, then I agree. I still have a diag software program that runs on DOS but due to the limitations it is unable to test multi core processors, it can't handle large amounts of memory and forget testing hard drives because it can't see a full 4TB drive let alone the larger ones. Neither it is not one manufacturer but different brands will also have this issue.Īh the good ole days of diagnostics software that runs on a DOS platform. Unless the motherboard could not properly detect or recognize a faulty AMD CPU. However for faulty Intel CPU it won't totally boot so why faulty AMD CPU can still boot it is puzzling Most motherboard design are based on Intel and Intel CPU does fail too. I strongly urge AMD to consider a proper diagnostic tool to detect faulty CPU. The PC can still boot so there is no way to tell whether the CPU is faulty. Most motherboard diagnostic tool are not able to detect faulty CPU that even if CPU is faulty. Only after changing the CPU than the PC works fine especially booting into Windows USB installer.

However on several cases it wasn't that when I try to start Windows USB installer or even Linux USB bootable.Įither bootable OS could not boot and the cases that I encounter the error message on Windows was: Usually when Windows could not load it means the Windows is corrupted.

That the issue itself was very complicated to identify in particular Windows could not load. I myself am a IT technician and I have encounter few cases of faulty AMD CPU processor.
