What CPU to what CPU?

If you went skylake to kaby lake, you will need to update your MOBO bios first...

When in doubt, re-format.

I3-2100 to xeon e3-1230 (also, just installed fresh w10 and updated drivers through driver booster)

I'm assuming you're running this on the GA-H61M-S2PV listed in your bio.

 

Well the Xeon is listed as a supported CPU, and it requires the same BIOS version as the i3 you pulled so that shouldn't be the issue.

 

Now the thing is that when you pull the CPU out of the socket, your BIOS will reset. Chances are that you will need to change your SATA operation mode from ATA/RAID to AHCI (or vice versa if that didn't work)

Also any other BIOS settings you had changed before would need to be changed back.

When in doubt, re-format.

What if i load optimized config and change to ahci? Because if i connect my vga to gpu, my bios screen gets freeze and i cant go to bios unless i use vga from mobo

AHCI is the likely culprit. The optimized default stuff is generally for overclocking, ram, and voltage settings, and shouldn't affect your ability to boot.

SATA mode needs to be set at whatever it was set when you actually installed windows. So if you installed it initially with ATA mode, you will need to use that. The other settings I can think of are CSM and legacy boot, you may have to enable/disable these as well so that it is configured in the same manner it was when windows was initially installed.

 

If you don't have a problem with re-installing windows one more time, do that, and do it with AHCI selected and CSM/legacy boot off. Do this with the new CPU installed.

 

I never trust the driver updater utilities since most of them are spyware/crapware. Manually download and install them.

If the bios is freezing even before windows attempts to boot, but works with the other CPU installed, then the problem is likely the CPU itself and nothing to do with windows.

 

Do a BIOS update on it to be on the safe side (remember, updating the bios generally resets all settings to default) but it sounds like the new cpu may not be good, or it doesn't like your ram for some reason.
