    The engineers report would have been £390+vat! if someone can do it cheaper let me know.

    Intels own MTBF(Mean Time Between Failures) is 25000 hours for Q9450 (2.6 years)

    Yes I have the proof it was inherently faulty. I have the temperature logs right up until it died that showed it running at 32C with a Max of 39C when playing games(70C is the limit). It was consistently within Intel's specified limits.

    It was also protected against electrical spikes via a surge protector and UPS.

    The extensive research was done at the library and website of HM’s Court Service.

    You do realise how inaccurate cpu temperature sensors can be?
