Blue Screen after CPU upgrade (i5 4670 to i7 4770k)

[Telus]

So I just upgraded to a i7 4770k from an i5 4670. Everything was going fine, idle temps were around 25 c. After about 20 minutes of use (I wasn't gaming so it shouldn't of gotton hot) my computer ran into the "your pc has ran into a problem, we'll restart it for you" message. Things that I changed - I had moved my ram to a different slot because the cpu fan was too big, this cpu has hyper threading, other one wasn't, old cpu was locked, this one isn't, and I got a new 144 hz monitor to go along with my 60 hz. also got a new cpu fan

other specs -
single stick 8 gb ram
gtx 980
msi z87 g45
evga g2 850w
hyper 212 evo

Just to check, did you download anything. Try running without peripherals. Turn off hyper threading, and make sure settings in bios or on auto. When you move ram try moving it to a different(if you went to second go third). Let me know if this helps or if you are even still having issues. Check CPU voltage in something like CPU-Z as well.

no luck - disabled hyper threading and did an update of my chipset drivers and pc is still crashing.

Try reinstalling all drivers.

Reinstalling OS is what probably needs to be done, but that's annoying so try that first. Make sure to backup what you want before doing that though.

Kind of hard reinstalling drivers when windows seems to blue screen within the first minute of logging in

Then I would reinstall/repair OS. Not repair mode when you start windows but windows repair via disk. This should update everything without formatting drive(which a reinstall will)

my error message is WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR
upon further reaserch I've discovered this often caused by incorrect voltage supplied to the cpu. How do you suggest I fix this? I also may try putting my old cpu backin and seeing if everything works to pinpoint the problem. Maybe it is overheating and I'm just not monotoring the temps at the right times, or open hardware monitor isn't projecting the righttemps. Reinsalling windows is a last resort

This is why I asked you to check voltages earlier. (I get it's crashing though) In bios is everything on AUTO? If it is and still crashing underclock your cpu and try. Still try and see the voltage it's crashing at, may be a hardware issue.

Yes, everything is bios is set to auto.

It shows you have new processor right, it doesn't think you have the old one.

Yes, it's reading the i7, but one thing I just noticed is that it thinks my memory size is 2112. Windows reads 8 gb fine but the BIOS seems confused.

I disabled turbo boost and everything seems to be going fine, i took a screenshot of open hardware monitor - http://imgur.com/4bKA2pY

voltages appear very low

yep, the frequency was the problem. it was turbo boosting to 3.7 ghz and that would blue screen it because there wasn't enough voltage going to the cpu. problem solved hopefully! I'll give it a day and if it doesn't blue screen I've fixed it forever! (hopefully)

 

[Ximerous]

Glad you got it solved. Let me know what happens.

Just setup an OC in the 4Ghz range and manually set power voffset or voltage.

 

[Ximerous]

What exactly did you do to solve it, turn of turbo fix the voltage problems.
