Clean install?

As much as I didn't want to, I ended up taking this step after exhaustively gathering and backing up all sorts of stuff.

 

Thanks chief.

Hey all,

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/b/prLD4D -- Current build

 

Running Win 10 Pro

Had G3258 installed as of this morning (overclocked)

Received new Core i5 4690k.

Booted system up, went into BIOS and turned off overclock on G3258.

Booted into Windows 10.

Shut down properly.

Installed new i5 4690k

Booted into BIOS to make sure OC is turned off (verified yes)

Boot into Win 10 and icons/desktop are flashing constantly.

Hit task manager and see Windows Error Reporting is pegged at 100%

Can't shut down properly. Booted into safe mode with no 100% CPU spike. 

 

Any thoughts?

 

I'm currently still in Safe Mode running an SFC /scannow and will be doing a disk check afterwards. I got into the event viewer and noticed a LOT of errors dealing with explorer.exe crashing

Hoping with a processor upgrade I shouldn't have to do that. Never had to before.

you shouldn't have to

While in windows the desktop was flickering and looked like explorer was crashing over and over. I was able to get Task Manager up and it showed the CPU utilization at 100%. The suspect was Windows Error Reporting. I was able to get it to reboot into safe mode eventually and the error logs are flooded with Event 1001 APPCRASH errors pointing at Explorer.exe

A CPU change should never result in this. Have you tried going back out of safe mode? Did it do it again? Windows Explorer is a core part of Windows so you might have to clean install. Weird.

EDIT: You might also want to try to reset the BIOS to its default settings via a factory bios reset.

Waiting on a CHKDSK to finish up, running a scan inside of safe mode suggested a repair so I'm waiting through that -_-

Looks to have resolved itself, whatever it was. I did notice some Nvidia related files in the errors as well as Explorer.exe

 

My 750ti isn't overclocked (aside from the factory OC) but I am using a smaller monitor (I'm not lugging my normal monitor into work as well) and I set the resolution lower in safe mode and booted back into normal. Looks okay now.

 

Hmm...
