Check to see if you can get your hands on a processor of the socket, and then see if that works. If it does, it's your CPU. | ||

Beyond that I think you're stuck getting a new CPU+mobo combo =/ | ||

They have Fry's in Canada right? They're new ad comes out today (new one every week or two), see if anything is uber cheap. They just had the i5-2400 for $149 for a while, no rebate necessary. They've already done the i7-2600k and i5-2500k's but you never know. Or you could find a cheap mobo maybe. | ||

You could open the case, and just take a look at if the cpu cooler seems to be slightly loose. Also, it could be a PSU issue. Its typical for pcs to shut down if the power delivery is somehow not in line for the components. Did this happen after an overclock fail or after the lights went out at your home? Catspaw. p.s you said u applied a new thermal paste. Did u reaserch how you have to put that thermal paste? i mean, very thin layer, like ultra thin. Some ppl aplly 2 much of it, making it a problem rather than a help. even if your processor would be dead, i dont think it would shut down your pc. Most likely mobo is protecting the cpu from overheating (killing a cpu from overheating is actually dificult to do, even if you try it, but if you are positive you have killed it, you might try to repair it in the oven, baking it for 6 minutes a 200 ºC. Some ppl do that with their GPUs). However, if possible, check other things first, and answer the questions so we might help better. If possible, give a full information about your system. All components, brands, longevity, regular ambient temps... | ||
