7 Beeps, no boot most of the time.

Texto:

I've been repairing a Dell Studio 1747 with a Core i7-820QM (first generation).  Most of the time it beeps 7 times at power up.  Sometimes it will POST and boot, but then eventually crash hard (freeze).  I understand that 7 beeps indicates a cache test problem meaning a problem with the CPU.  However, CPU problems are so rare, I replaced the motherboard instead.  I still get the 7 beeps at start up most of the time.  I have replaced the memory as well with the same results.  (Once, I did get 4 beeps, and 6 beeps another time, but every other time, 7 beeps).

How often does a CPU actually fail?  I thought it was quite rare and far more likely to be a logic board problem.  Could the issue be a bad CPU ZIF seat (both times), a bad power supply to the board, or is there anything else that would cause this error code (7 Beeps) besides a bad CPU?
