OC G3258 won't work with Windows 10

[sinaarian]

I tried to install windows 10 after I got the update but no matter what I did it would not work. After reinstalling windows 8.1 I tried it again and but still the same error. I looked online for a solution and found out that I am not the only one with this problem. The solution was to take off the OC and try it again. Guess what? it worked. I started this thread to let people who have this same problem know what is going on. To be clear the fix is something that killed my performance by half because I had to turn off overclocking. I really hope that Intel or Microsoft take care of this problem soon, if not theni have to go back to windows 8.1.

 

Error code:(C1900101-20017)

Is it a bios problem though maybe?

The other issue that people are having is having to disable one of the cores.

My results:
1 Core Stock = Boot
1 Core OC'd = Boot
2 Cores Stock = No boot
2 Cores OC'd = No boot

G3258 at 4.82GHz on a Z87 Sabertooth and its fine in windows 10 x64 Pro.

G3258 at 4.2GHz on Asus H81M-C/CSM working fine on Windows 10

Could y'all tell what  version of BIOS y'all using? I really need help.

Check with your motherboard manufacturer to see if there are new drivers and/or a new BIOS version.

Now intel locked down overclocking in g3258 with new windows if you uses h or b series chipset.
ASRock already updated the bios but all it does just turn on 2 cores on stock and turned off overclocking. Intel finally did it they locked down overclocking for h and b series chipset.
Correct me if i'm wrong.
And i just wanted to ask is pentium to core i3 a worthy upgrade?

 

But is it better to go for z97 mobo or to core i3?
Thanks before

Just bump on up to a core i3. The Pentium is only likely to cause MORE problems down the line rather than less.

testbench g3258 4.6GHz (all 2-cores) upgraded just fine to WinX.

fixin' to do a clean install, next.

By "WInX" do you mean Windows 10 and if so what MOBO are you using?

[airdeano]

yes windows 10, using the z97-a 16GB (2x 8GB) 2400MHz RAM

[hudane123]

Intel locked down the oc ability in h and b series chipset not in z series chipset

 

Thanks d1screet for reply
I guess i will upgrade to i3 soon
