So, essentially, my PC has been crashing randomly ever since I built it. No blue screen or anything, just the screen freezing and shutdown. I chalked it up to be a loose PSU cable, something I didn't know how fix. However, this time my PC crashed once, then twice, then thrice and finally four times. On the fourth time it blue screened and returned "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". Some Google told me it was most likely a driver or BIOS issue, which made sense to me as NVidia just released new driver. So I try to get it to turn on again, blue screen, second time and we're into windows. But then it crashes. It's the same PSU issue I was having before. So I decide to just clean out my PC while I think of what to do. Now here's where the real issue comes in. I had this problem while building my PC for the first time. The CPU would slot into place and be detected, but when I put the cooler on and screwed it down too hard, it would flash undetected on the debug LED. So, after I clean my cooler, I try turn the PC back on and get the same debug LED "CPU" and "DRAM" both flashing one after the other. I try and solve the issue the way I know how and resocket the CPU without the cooler and it works. Put the cooler back on and nothing. So resocket it again, and again, and again; you get the point. Oh another thing, even though the system detected the CPU, I didn't get a post. However I may have forgotten to plug something in.
TL;DL PC crashed 6 times and CPU is no longer detected
