help Windows doesn't boot, but BIOS does

[Zotec_Fury]

Hello,

 

So I have just upgraded my CPU from an i3-8100 to an i9-9900k. My motherboard is a Z370P-II, when I turn the pc on it posts and I'm able to get into the bios and configure settings however, when I try to boot into windows it freezes on the loading screen ( the screen with the spinning dots). I also cannot get into automatic repair mode as it also freezes when that is loading. After leaving it on the frozen screen for around 10 minutes nothing has changed.

 

Help

Try updating your BIOS.

I assume you didn't install a fresh copy of Windows?

I mean usually this works just fine, but I'd assume that this is causing the issues.
I recommend to create a windows bootable USB drive and see if you can get into the installer. Then create a second partition on that drive (as long as there is enough space left) and boot into a new install. Then you can backup all your files and delete the old partition.

Updating the bios did the trick, thank you
