[SOLVED] Blue Screen after enabling all CPU cores.

[GamePlayer123321]

I'm an idiot and I enabled all 4 CPU cores via msconfig.
Now if I boot my system then it blue screens.

Is there someway to fix it?
Like reinstall CPU, Reset PC?

Please help!

I think that reinstalling Windows might solve the issue.

That would have NOTHING to do with his system not running the stock 4 cores.

CPU was on 1 core. Then I changed it to 4 and it started crashing. Reinstalling Windows should restore all settings.

That will NOT fix your isuue if it is a temp problem. I'm sorry but that has about a 1% chance of fixing it. The reason why I voted down your answer is because it would be bad advice for anyone that googles the same issue and ends up in this thread.

What BIOS version are you running?

Need system specs. CPU/motherboard/ CPU cooling/ any overclocking

 

[GamePlayer123321]

Cpu: AMD Athlon II x4 870k
Motherboard: Asrock FM2A88M Extreme 4+
Cooling: Be Silent
Gpu: RX 570

I don't know if it's a typo or not but I can see Athlon x4 870k not Athlon II x4 870k.

If it's an Athlon II: It doesn't show in the compatible list on ASRock website: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A88M Extreme4+/#CPU

If it's an Athlon x4: It says it will work with BIOS 2.60 (or higher)

I would also check to see if the CPU heatsink is properly seated. It may be slightly loose causing high temps.

I would also consider cleaning and reapplying a fresh coat of thermal paste. The CPU is several years old and it may have dried out a bit causing high temps.

I will let you know if it fixes it.

 

[GamePlayer123321]

It didn't.

I think that reinstalling Windows might solve the issue.
And my CPU is just Athlon not Athlon II, Sorry!
