I bought it, Installed it and ran it :D

I got bsod twice and could not get it to restart once it did restart bf4 was still putting out a memory leak?? No idea how but several seconds later...whoosh everything goes off and pc makes a horrid noise, Took it to the local store to confirm my suspicions and 2 month old cpu is sleeping with the fishes.

Update
Technician has said everything else is running perfectly, no overheating, correct wattage's, he has but in a athlon x2 for me since its only going to cost £25, untill i can find the receipt.

So no Gaming for me for atleast a year :(

fk you EA

EDIT: NEW Processor, New power supply, New Ram and £400 later yay i'm good to go again

Stores should have the receipt in their systems for cases like this. Just tell your name and they should find it.

There must be someone in that store that remembers you buying it. And did you check all the boxes (motherboard box, graphics card box etc.)?

If you bought your CPU 2 months ago it still has warranty. It sounds more like a fan or CPU failure not BF4 fault. I think your fan stopped working for some reason and fried your CPU.

Fan is fully functioning, The guy at the store tested it.

Then it's strange. Maybe static electricity somehow got to your CPU? Because it can't just stop working without any reason. Are you sure it was CPU? Maybe RAM or motherboard failure. Had some problems on my old PC with one RAM slot. One time when I turned on PC RAM slot just popped and it started to smell like a burned plastic. Thought some condensators on motherboard broke since it was old PC but it was just RAM slot. I put my RAM in second slot and PC still works.

Actually I think you should send message to EA asking them for new CPU. It's their fault not yours that their game somehow fried (probably fried) your CPU.

And lower CPU temp. on Intel procesors full load you can cook food. And Intel still quad-core with strong single core in multithreading era :).

Well, you got countless golden games in your library that run on a calculator...

And while EA is indeed evil, I'm pretty sure you can not kill hardware by running a software, no matter how shitty it is unless the hardware was faulty already and gonna crash sooner or later at maximum throttle.

2 month old CPU --> get it replaced right now from whoever you bought it from.

Software can indeed kill hardware. It's actually quite common if you get unknown software on your computer, or if you get certain viruses. Also legit software such as some of the video editor program's can burn out hardware.

How is it mistake? BF4 is much better than CoD or MoH at the moment. Haven't played much of it (only few hours in beta) but it was just as great as BF3.

Yea, and BF3 was just as great as bf:bc2...the main "improvments" are in bussiness model...sucking wallet highly optimized. BF:BC2 is still less bugged than BF3...and before BF4 come close to BF3 there will be BF5 with new dlc's and new bugs. BF and COD is same kind of cash sucking. I dunno why but it looks like Counter-Strike players are more demanding and respecting theirselves and their money. Condition Zero bring nothing new and was forgotten quickly, CS:Source moved the graphic to next level but wasn't as good as first one, so most of people left with 1.6. Finally CS:GO appear and is proper successor of first Counter-Strike...and you know what? There will be no new CS next year, updates will come out quite often as they already do, but they come for free. You don't have to use your wallet to download 2 new maps every month...and PC every year when "less optimized new version of the same" go out.

While im not an expert in these things, could it be that your new cpu had problems running with the other hardware and possibly caused some kind of electrical discharge or something? I can and will not believe a videogame or a similar software destroyed any part of a computer. It had to be flawed or struggle to run with your hardware setup, maybe you used your cpu slightly more then before and it showed its inner flaw, but it certainly wasn't the games fault.

It might be bad PSU. Bit of a voltage change in his electricity grid + bad PSU = fried computer parts.

I thought it might be something similar. When i just bought my pc the components weren't properly balanced or whatever the technical term is, so things broke 4 times at about each time after about a month or two interval, once my motherboard fried, and i believe they basically said PSU caused it, i don't remember if it fried as well, but they changed a few parts to get me off their back and now it works fine for 5 years without crashes. OP might want to contact a professional about his pc build, that too might be causing the problem

CoD is shit lol. BF is more interesting to play because of the world size and things you can do. In CoD you just run around and shoot while in BF you can fly jets and helis, drive a tank, blow up buildings etc.

The lesson that is learned here is not to get the shittier game, but to wait and not get a game at release. Also never update graphics update right after they are released ! XD

I have the full game and it doesn't. Well of course if you have 2 year old drivers that dont work with the game or are really buggy with the game, you should update. I update drivers a month after they are released (mainly because of all the times Nvidia has blown up videocards with their updates XD).

Using some testing software like aida 64 and prime 95 will give your pc a torture on hardware, but it also test out if your system runs stable without over heating issues or damaged hardware or faulty installation. If your pc can pass those stress test, then it is good to go. Those softwares are used to test overclocked pc but you can use them to test stability.

How much Watt is your Powersupply?
I had it on my old pc, started company of Heroes and whoosh same shit as you. Had to bury my motherboard but did get warranty.
In my case the problem was with the PSU. Company of Heroes was a very demanding game those days (like BF4 is now) and it asked more power than I could supply which resulted in a POOF
EDIT: Oh, techguy said wattage was ok. Just how many Watt is your PSU?
