General Computer Support / Re: Windows 10 start and Apps refuses to work on i7-3770K processor

Ok definitely, I did do a BIOS update on previous board. I will revert back as soon as I have the Z77 board and attempted Windows 10 install on there. I have already done a wipe(low-level) on my SSD in preparation; so will do BIOS aswell to be sure. I will also download a fresh install of Windows 10 be ensure that is up to date/doesn't have any files missing either. I will do install without any additional devices initially and then add GPU, etc after.

General Computer Support / Windows 10 start and Apps refuses to work on i7-3770K processor

« on: January 31, 2016, 04:36:32 am »

So I had a PC; i5-3330 on B75 MB which was running Windows 10 since Beta. I then decided to upgrade to an i7-3770K after which the boot device was not found; so i did a clean install of Windows 10 Ent x64. Started installing drivers, devices, etc and then after a reboot the Start menu stopped working, and progressively less and less apps. Numerous reinstalls, upgrade attempts from windows 7 and windows 8/8.1 I decided something between MB and CPU does not like Windows 10. So I decided to sell the MB and replaced it with an H61 Gigabyte MB. Windows 7 works fine on the setup so last night decided to install Windows 10; From the first bootup the start menu and apps do not work. I have done all the steps/suggestions from your site and some other sites aswell but nothing. I am expecting a Z77 board tomorrow to use with this processor but it seems that something with this processor just doesn't work with windows 10. Please help me sort this out; if any additional info required I can provide.

So since I upgraded from an i5 to an i7-3770K windows 10 start and apps worked on first clean install, they then broke and even on clean re-installs they don't work from the first boot to the desktop, and nothing I have tried makes ANY difference. I am convinced it is the processor as that is the only thing that changed. Please help...can a faulty processor cause this? Windows 7 works like a charm so don't see any issues with my proc.
