I'm fairly new to computers, and this problem has been stumping me the entire day. I built my custom pc a little over a year ago. I'll give a quick list of my specs before I explain what problem ensues.
-Specs
intel i5-6600k skylake
msi geforce gtx 1070
msi z170a gaming m3 <---This is where the conflict will start
G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Kingston - HyperX Fury 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Corsair - H75 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Adding - Intel - Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Throughout the time I've had this pc, it's been running perfectly. I recently wanted to upgrade my cpu from the i5-6600k to the i7-7700k. To do so, I had to flash install the new bios for my motherboard, as it was a generation behind the new cpu and couldn't read it without it. I got through the flash install and it booted up perfectly. I even went into the bios first before booting windows to double check the upgrade didn't have any corruptions. Once I booted up windows, I started noticing some weird but serious problems. It launched the desktop quickly, as usual, as the OS is on my SSD. However when I would click to launch programs, it would tend to lag for several seconds. Before this upgrade, that lag was unheard of for my pc. Then I started noticing more problems, such as there is no sound on my pc whatsoever. Using realtek, I have the same settings as I had before to use my headset. I select it and it plays no sound still. When I open youtube, it opens the site normally and has no issues until I try to play a video. It plays a video for 3 seconds and immediately stops. After that, it either continues to load with a black screen, or it plays a video at 1/2 the speed that it should even though the speed is on normal. I've checked all my drivers using both MSI Live Update 6 and comparing it to their website downloads themselves and everything is up to date.
That's all the information that I can think to give, if you need more to help evaluate the issue, please feel free to ask me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
