Blue Screen Error Suspected To Be A CPU Error (Help please)

[nafirian]

So i installed a new cpu around 16th January 2018 (AMD Athlon X4 880K 4.0Ghz 4 Cores) Afterwards i started getting Kernel Security Check Failure Blue screens and rarely, APC Index Mismatch error. They started getting more frequent as time went on and almost always Kernel Error's. So yesterday I reinstalled windows after trying everything I could to fix this and still the same happens not frequently back to back as it used to be still once every 20-40 mins sometimes I can go an entire day without a crash sometimes im stuck in the loop for a good hour or 2.

So I was thinking of uninstalling my CPU Drivers in device manager, Would it be safe to uninstall all and restart and hope windows auto updates them for me or is there another solution possibly?

Sorry if I posted in the wrong area I didn't know where to put this. Thanks any help would be extremely appreciated.

Did you verify that the 880K is a supported CPU for your motherboard and BIOS version?

No I didn't can I ask how I would do so?

Edit: It is supported by my motherboard yea I would assume aswell by my BIOS?

I've been trying for a while to fix but nothing seems to work im going to assume its a really crappy driver issue but even then how would I pinpoint it.

The motherboard manufacturer provides a list of supported CPUs and the BIOS revision required for each one. You need to verify against that list. Don't "assume" your BIOS is OK unless you updated to the latest BIOS prior to the CPU swap.

I didn't update my BIOS prior to the install. This was the first time I eve installed a hardware device myself so I didnt know what the full process was. Would it be possible for me to update my BIOS now and fix the issue. And if so would you be able to help me abit if possible. My motherboard is a Gigabyte F2A78M I Would really appreciate some-help since this is really annoying. IDK how to update a BIOS and which BIOS update to install. So any help would be extremely appreciated.

Download BIOS from: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-F2A78M-D3H-rev-40#support-dl

put BIOS file (version FCe) on to flash drive, boot into BIOS settings and use the BIOS flash utility to update the BIOS using the file on the flash drive.

First before you update your BIOS please verify which motherboard you have. There are two different Gigabyte motherboards that meet the part you listed -- GA-F2A78M-D3H or GA-F2A78M-DASHV and for the GA-F2A78M-D3H has version 3.0 and 4.0. So BE CAREFUL and get your motherboard identifier correct before you update your BIOS. Your motherboard manual will have BIOS update instructions.
