Intro
Being such a large company, Intel doesn't have much time to deal with one CPU having an issue. It is because of this that with very little information they will send out a replacement and often times, not even request you to send the dysfunctional CPU back.

Getting Contact
So of course, go ahead and contact Intel, I'd recommend calling them, skip verification, and it shows that there was a real person before the e-mails start flying back and forth. This step is easy, Tell them the processor you have then tell them it's stopped working. Say something like you have tried it in
another system of the same design and it did not work. also you tried another of the same type CPU with your PC and it worked fine. More than likely they will ask for your email and just say they'll send you the next steps. The email is:

Spoiler:

Thank you for contacting Intel® Technical Support.
As previously discussed, we need a full system configuration in order to identify the root cause of the
issue correctly and being able to provide an adequate solution.
All part numbers need
ed should be read directly from the component itself and not from within
software which very often only show the specs of the product but not the relevant information we need.
Please provide all system components. In case a component is onboard, please state accordingly.

It will then have a list of information. Fill it out and send the reply.

Several emails will be sent back and forth trying to figure out about the other CPU and if you've overclocked the processor (if its an unlocked processor).

Eventually they will ask for shipment information and voila! You have a shiny new Intel CPU.

PoP
For providing proof of purchase, you can go half-legitimate and actually buy the CPU or use a PoP from when you did, or you can do the easy way and just generate an Amazon, TD, Newegg, etc... receipt and send them that, trust me, it works.

Just a Note...
Its my first tutorial, I'm sure many of you can do this yourself, but its kind of a intermediate guide. I wrote it several years back and found it on an old hard drive along with many others and decided to post it. Hope you get some use and enjoy.
