    Probably just update your motherboard bios and do a clean install of windows, best to keep windows on a 120-150GB partition so it's easy to reinstall in the future.
     
    might be some random program or driver you've installed is causing issues.

    The CPU doesn't render pixels. It makes no difference to the CPU what resolution you want.
     
    The higher the resolution goes, the more strain it puts on the GPU. If the GPU is able to push out 144 fps then the CPU has to match that. If it can't, you see a bottleneck. However if the CPU is perfectly capable of computing fast enough for 144 fps, but your GPU is struggling to give you more than 60, then the CPU needs to wait for the GPU so you see less CPU load -- ie your GPU is the bottleneck.
     
    tl;dr if your CPU can give you the framerate you want at 1080p, this won't change at 1440p.

    Cpu is usually only a problem in lower resolutions where the gpu can pump out a lot of frames. as the resolution goes up, the gpu becomes more bogged down, thus reducing the load on the cpu as well.
     
    tldr, you will be fine with the i5. Just get a gpu that can handle the resolution, and you will be good.

    I have an i7-2600K, which is that CPU's older brother. All that's different is its hyperthreading scheduler and that's pretty much it. In games, it tears through pretty much everything I throw at it. I have an R9 Nano paired with it and a 1440p monitor.
     
    CPU-wise, you're fine for the next while.

    Tim reacted to Dave :) in PC just reset on me...   
    41 errors are generally created when something interferes with the shut down, so something unexpected happens therefore Windows generates the error code.
    Shut down now, and don't turn off at the wall. Then restart and see if you get an error generated. If not, shut down again and this turn do turn off at the wall (as you would normally) and then restart and see if an error is generated.
