Hi.
So recently I bought an i7 9700k to upgrade my CPU. After putting the CPU in and booting up my computer, I get stuck at the motherboard loading screen. I have a MSI z370 motherboard. Sometimes it gets stuck on this screen with an additional message "Preparing Automatic Repair". Initially there is a wheel that spins but after about 5 second, it just freezes. I have tried resetting my CMOS by removing the motherboard battery and putting it back in. I get stuck at the same loading screens.
I thought that the CPU might be defective, so I got a replacement and the same problem kept happening. When I put in my old CPU (i3-8100), my computer is able to start up fine.
I am pulling my hair out at this point and would appricate any help that I can get.
Thanks
