New Upgrades New Problems

Hello guys,

 

recently purchased an i7 4790k processor

as well as an MSI Gaming 5 Mobo

and my system was previously using the specs listed here (i haven't updated since the purchase of the aforementioned products)

Everything boots up fine however I can't seem to go more than 5 or so minutes before my programs freeze up, the mouse is fine, there are no particles

on the screen. It simply stops working and remains in an infinite load circle that windows 8 does.

another thing, when i do power down normally (using power or in OS options to power it off) it does not turn off. the screen goes however the cpu fan, case fans and led's remain lit on the tower and do so for about 10 mins before finally powering down.

Try re-installing Windows.

I suppose i'll try that today, such a pain to have to do that tho.

it seems like it did make stuff run better but now the post screen doesn't disappear and it is merged with the windows load screen. hopefully drivers and such will fix that.

 

Solved, that worked, but i still have the post screen from the MSI mobo overriding the windows login screen minus the rotating circles.
