Installed used CPU, now PC immediately shuts off after powering on

I have a Z97 Anniversary MOBO and a G3258. I decided to get a used i5 4690k from eBay and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 CPU fan to later over clock the CPU and keep it cool.

Took the PC apart, disconnected everything, carefully removed the old CPU, put the new one in making sure to now touch either the top or the bottom of the CPU, put some arctic silver on the CPU before installing the CPU fan according to the instructions that came with the box. When I plugged everything back in and tried to power it on, it shut off about a second after I pressed the power button. The fans start spinning but obviously turn off when the computer shuts off.

Not sure where to go from here. Is the CPU bad? Did I not connect something properly? If I could get some assistance/guidance, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
