I have Windows 10 and the motherboard that comes with an Asus m11aa computer and I just updated from a Pentium G2030 to an I-7 3770. I turned on the computer and now after loading through everything I get a grey screen on my main monitor, and a black screen on my separate ones. I still have the mouse cursor and can move it around. What can I do? No command shortcuts seem to work
 
Solution
My immediate guess is that you will have to re-install Windows, preferably on a new drive (since reinstalling on the old drive would wipe all of your data). You've got Windows that simply isn't set up for that CPU.
