check msconfig -> boot -> advanced options, and see if there is a set number of processors selected.

it says 4 cores in msconfig and in bios it says that 3 cores are enabled

Either uncheck it or see if you can change it to 8 in msconfig.

Uncheck the box and reboot. I know it seems strange, but it has worked for me once before in the past.

If you are using a z170 motherboard try a bios update.

Which windows version? What the cpu upgraded from an i3?

You said in the bios it sees only 3 cores right? First of all i think it is a bios problem, it doesnt detect the new cpu how it should. You got 3 options, buy a z270 motehrboard, return it and change it with a 6700k or wait for a bios update. Also you can try to reset your windows but i would not hope much because you did not change the motherboard so it should detect the cpu without any issues.
