the computer freezes up with the i7-4790k cpu installed but it works fine with a lower end processor. would delidding fix this issue?

Re: i7-4790k makes the computer freeze up during startup
No.
A CPU delid is only useful if you are trying to lower CPU temps with at least watercooling.
The purpose of a delid is to remove some of the thermal barrier (aka thickness of the TIM and sealant) to have better mating between the IHS and the die.
The fact it freezes (not enough info here) says it's likely not thermal related. -
Re: i7-4790k makes the computer freeze up during startup
What makes you think delidding it would fix it? Seems like the 4790k is just broken, or your motherboard either needs a bios update or just doesn't support it.Comment

Re: i7-4790k makes the computer freeze up during startup
it ran for 8 years and then the customer unplugged the water pump for some reason. I ran it for hours without realizing that the pump was not running. I figure the TIM is dried upComment

Re: i7-4790k makes the computer freeze up during startup
The TIM wouldn't have "dried up".
Unless they disabled the OTP it would have shutdown or at minimum throttled before killing the CPU.
That said when it freezes, is that under any load or just idle on desktop?
What are the temps?
Chances are the CPU is bad but test properly first.Comment

Re: i7-4790k makes the computer freeze up during startup
it never makes it to the desktop unless the graphics card is removed and the intel hd graphics is used instead. you also have to disable the intel hd graphics driver and then it doesn't freeze. the system works perfectly with the other cpuComment

Sounds like the IGPU is broken.Comment

My Yamaha MOX8 synthesizer recently developed two issues.
Firstly, after booting up, it operates as normal. However, after about 5 minutes, the sound starts to get distorted (broken up screeching sound) almost like putting it through a guitar distortion pedal. After a while, the distorted sounds will go away for a while and comes back. At times, the synthesizer will also freeze I need to power off and on again.
Secondly, when powering off and on again, there will be times where the synthesizer will freeze during the boot sequence (freezes at the MOX8 Opening Screen),...11-07-2024, 03:28 AM -
Hi everyone.
Lenovo Thinkpad E14 Gen 3, stuck on the "To interrupt normal startup, press Enter" screen.
Found a lot of people with this issue, but with no definitive answer. Some people managed to get away accessing BIOS, going to Startup and turning off "Option Key Display". For me that only removed the interrupt normal start up message, leaving only the Lenovo logo.
Most people say hitting Enter does not work. It's true, if you wait a few seconds. But if you hit Enter right away you get the options to enter BIOS (which works), run diagnostics (goes to a... -
I'm using Xiaomi Router 4A gigabit edition as wireless repeater. It worked fine for 2 years or so, but last week, wireless started to disappear.
When I unplug/replug the power, it was working fine for a day/half a day or so until it freezes again.
After testing with different power supply adapters and concluding it wasn't the issue I finally opened the case and this was the situation:
Anyway I proceed to clean up the mess and replace all caps but unfortunately it made the situation worse. Now router can't even boot, either it freezes during... -
Macbook A1398 - had repeating loop of startup chime with no actual boot. Just startup chime, then restart, start up chime, then restart, etc. I pulled the battery and cleared BIOS. It will now power up, fans on, CPU warming, but no startup chime and no boot. I reflashed the BIOS chip but the same thing happening. Where should I go from here?06-14-2023, 11:45 AM

Hi I have Dell 7520 which has i7-3632QM as well as AMD 7730M Discrete Switchable GPU.
This is BACO Switchable meaning the AMD GPU can only "render" and cannot work as alone as it depends on iGPU for output.
Attached is the datasheet for LA-8241P which shares common with Inspiron 5520 and Vostro 3560. Link to Schematics: https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...a856347d78.pdf
The laptop has worked flawlessly for last 9 years, with CPU temps never exceeding 90*C and GPU barely reaching 80*C on gaming/full load.
Since...
