I would recommend reseating before reinstalling windows. Is your cooling solution also capable for a high tier chip?

I'll try that when swapping mobos.
Yes, the cooling is enough. I did say 85C was absolute max out of every core. And that's without fans ramping up much.
I had a similar experience before. I tried swapping a i3-2120 to a i5-3300 on a cheap Asrock H67 board. I have installed the latest BIOS and support page said it should work but it just kept blue sreening.
It was fixed after I replaced the MB to a slightly less cheap H77 board.
Friend who helped me fixed the computer said that MB manufacturers don't really test their MBs with all the CPUs they support. Some niche CPUs may not work, even though they are supposedly supported.
Since my lemmy crashes when trying to edit the post, I'll leave an update as a comment.
For now I've limited wattage supplied to CPU, which solved the issue.
So, basically, there are only 3 options which could be the cause.
-
Wrong automatic motherboard settings. Which seems to be the most likely option.
-
PSU protection gets wrongly triggered. That would be unusual, this particular model should be reliable.
-
Faulty CPU. This is even less likely due to the way they're manifactured.
