Well check your multiplier in the BIOS. While you're at it, set BIOS settings to default. A clean install may be in order, just so you know.

Remove CMOS battery, forget going into the BIOS.

One other thing. Drivers.

. I've never had issues with drivers since upgrading to windows 10 on release its worth a shot though

Not scary, don't worry, won't wipe anything but BIOS settings. Just take it out for 30 seconds and put it back in, not complicated at all.

It's harmless. Just resets your bios to default settings.

. And it won't wipe anything other than bios settings?

No, it shouldn't. If you doubt me just look it up.

Still give it a try and it might fix it up. There's literally zero harm that can come from it.

If you do end up taking out the cmos battery, make sure you do that while your system is OFF.

get both programs on screen

 

push print screen button

 

go to mspaint  

 

paste image and save image

 

upload image on forum using the more reply options (bottom right hand side of screen)

 

sounds like its your bios being screwy or windows power management

 

go into bios

 

push F5   load optimized defaults

 

save and exit

 

see if that does anything
