I Got A New CPU And My Computer Is Freaking Out!

  • 4

So I got a new CPU the i7-9700k (previously had an i7-8700) and currently have an MSI gigabyte Z390-A pro mother board. I swapped out the processor as I normally would with new thermal paste etc. And when I boot the system I Get to the motherboard loading screen (before windows) frozen on “preparing automatic repair”?? It does this after a few attempts of turning off and on by itself. Anyone know the issue?? Struggling to understand what to do or how to figure out what the problem is.

  1. If you haven’t already done so, update to the latest BIOS version (7B98v18) while the 8700 is installed. After verifying the update was successful, try swapping CPUs again.
