Hello very smart humans.
Me have problem & rocks won't solve it. I just purchased an Intel i7 4790k. To me, I think it's my first robust build thus far. (Noob)
Upon installation, I'm faced with a guaranteed freeze during boot up. I currently use a Biostar B85MG which is a compatible MOBO according to their website. Just in case, I reset the BIOS to defaults, reset the CMOS, and I did a series of boot ups without the GPU and a stick of RAM to see if that did something. Nay. She choked up like a beached baluga.
I did manage to boot the system off a USB drive which after several attempts, allowed me to install Win 10. But again, upon booting up, the system would freeze. Out of frustration, I reverted back to my G3258 and everything is running smoothly again. I checked my BIOS via Biostar's utility and despite it being from 2013, said it was up to date. I've never done a BIOS flash and I'm not sure which BIOS is up to date on Biostar's confusing website but could this be the case? (I hope)
Here's some tech specs:
Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 17134) (17134.rs4_release.180410-1804)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: BIOSTAR Group
System Model: B85MG
BIOS: BIOS Date: 10/22/13 19:19:34 Ver: 04.06.05 (type: BIOS)
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G3258 @ 3.20GHz (2 CPUs), ~3.2GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 8130MB RAM
Page File: 2341MB used, 7708MB available
Windows Dir: C:\Windows
DirectX Version: DirectX 12
Display:
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip type: GeForce GTX 950
DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC
Device Type: Full Device (POST)
Is there something that I am missing? One thing to note is, the G3258 was overclocked and I did not reset the overclocking via software when I swapped the CPUs but despite that, everything is running perfectly fine with my G3258 but not at the performance I intentionally set out with.
Advice would be incredibly appreciated. I work 80 hours a week and the very little free time I have is spent troubleshooting and it makes me want to dig my cat's cute but deceiving paws into my eyes. Please community, save my CPU and save my eyes.
