Does it post at all?

 

Do you get any error messages? 

 

Check the socket for damage.

 

Did you update the bios?

It did post the socket didn’t seems to have any damages I’ve updated the bios to the latest version and the error codes I got were whea uncorrectable error and stop code machine check error

The 9700K is not an upgrade at all over the 8700K, if you can still return it I suggest you do that and keep the 8700K, and as for your BSODs try reseating your CPU and check if any of the pins are bent at all, usually that error correlates to having unstable RAM

I don’t know I will be able to return it but I will try to reset my cpu and check for bent pins

Id check with a linux live disk to see if its a hardware or software issue. Rule out software issues first. Also run a memory test.

 

Or try a fresh install of windows.

Currently reinstalling windows didn’t see any bent pins but I did find some thermal paste on the cpu so hopefully that was it but to be sure

Tried installing windows but it freezes and won’t go past 0%

Would you mind explaining why that isn't an upgrade?

The hyperthreading in the 8700K matches the performance of the non-hyperthreaded 9700K (6 Core 12 Thread vs. 8 Core 8 Thread), there are advantages and disadvantages to each one of them but overall they are equal

You can see how they perform in the benchmarks listed here, the 8700K has slightly lower clocks but you can enable MCE to push it to 4.7Ghz across all cores.

thats pretty confusing for casual buyers, without knowledge logic would suggest that a 9700k is just straight up better than a 8700k because of the naming scheme. They really need to make it more obvious!
