So I got a new motherboard, MSI B150 Gaming M3, new CPU, Intel Core-i7 6700k, and RAM. Everything was working fine until I launched a game to test out my new hardware. Sht. Hit. The. Fan. Softwares were closing left and right and I couldnt do anything. So I decided to just reboot. This took a century and a half. Upon reboot, opening just the enter pin page took about 30 seconds, and another minute to enter my four digit pin. After getting to my desktop, after about 5 minutes (and no default startup programs opening) BSOD. DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. I did the recommend fix (it took a few tries to do it because this BSOD happened back to back). Then I got a new BSOD. bad_system_info. I have reset my CMOS already so don't suggest that. This is all brand new hardware.

1) i7 6700K has HyperThreading. It has eight logical processors. The FX 8xxx and 9xxx series operated in a similar but much less optimized manner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgejkSWzvNs

2) Windows is likely confused as fudge right now. The motherboard is the part that's in charge of connecting all the components and it's essential that Windows understands the boards' logic. Windows configures itself for the present board when it's first installed...

No, but its working for the most part now. Im still a little concerned that when i go to details on task manager and go to change affinity, 8 processors come up, like im still using my old AMD octa.

2) Windows is likely confused as fudge right now. The motherboard is the part that's in charge of connecting all the components and it's essential that Windows understands the boards' logic. Windows configures itself for the present board when it's first installed. If the motherboard is changed and you continue running the same install of Windows, unless the boards are identical, Windows will have trouble identifying and/or using certain components. This can be anything from front USB ports (which would result in the front USB ports being unusable) to the connection to the CPU socket (which would result in a no-boot situation).

3) While Windows is able to perform basic functions, the previous stop errors have proven your current Windows install to be unstable on the new board. Please back up everything you intend to keep, remove the backup media from the computer, and then reinstall Windows.
