[SOLVED] Computer freezes after installing I9-9900k

[Tscrub]

I just upgraded to an I9 9900k from an I5 9600k. When I put in the i9 it booted once and froze. When it froze it kept my screen up and did not blue screen. It acted like an overheat freeze. I think my problem is my cooler cant handle the new cpu. Please help me because I don't know what to do.

I put my i5 back into my computer and it started up with no problems.

What PSU do you have? Could it be that your new CPU consumes much more power than your old one, so your PSU can't handle it?

1)You can't run a 9900K with a 212 Evo. You WILL run into temperature issues at some point.
360mm AIO, custom loop, or bust.
Yes, I know 280mm units also work, but the OC headroom isn't as high. I mean, who gets that cpu and ISN'T tempted to OC it at some point in time...

2)I agree with Aerowei - what is the power supply?

Thank you for your feedback. I like to do my upgrades little at a time and I wasnt thinking of the amount of an upgrade that I was making. I currently have a mid tower and with these recommendation I am going to purchase a full tower and a 360mm cooler thank you.
Also my psu is a CORSAIR HXi Series, HX1000i, 1000 Watt, 80+ Platinum Certified

If all you changed was the cpu, then I'd suggest checking the cpu socket for bent/broken pins.
If you changed the cpu and the motherboard, then you need to reinstall Windows.

seems you knew the answer before you asked, it's an overheating issue. that cooler is not sufficient. the i9-9900k is a really hot cpu.

I'd at least clear the CMOS/reset BIOS, and, if needed, fresh install of Windows to clear any potential OS confusion over the added cores/threads, and see what your temps are. Yes, the 212 will likely be insufficient, but, Intel's XTU will allow you to lower clock speeds and/or core voltage, effectively running it as an double 7700K at 4.5 GHz, if needed, while awaiting your new cooler. The current cooler should not stop it from POSTING/booting....

Ok guys i got a new cooler and I was having the same problem. Could it be my power supply I have a corsair 1000w plat rated.

the rest of my specs are
NZXT h710i case.
asus tuf z390 pro gaming motherboard
i9 9900k
NZXT Kraken x72
evga 1070ti
corsair vengence ddr4 3000 16gb ram
crucial mx500 2tb
crucial mx500 500gb

How old is the Corsair psu?

Did you reinstall Windows?
Checked the cpu socket for bent/broken pins?

 

[Tscrub]

Would I still need to reinstall windows if if works with my other processor. Also I tried to do it once and it froze. Ive had it for a year but they released in 2014.
Yes i checked for broken pins and I did not find any.

 

[Phaaze88]

Normally, you don't need to, but that the system froze during an attempt is concerning.

Are you able to run in Safe Mode at all without freezing?

You might want to think about upgrading the Bios. I believe I saw a UTube saying stating it was required.
I have the same MB and 9600k. I hope to upgrade to the 9900K eventually.
