Hello I got a new I7 4790k and when i use windows 10 I get a freeze, I can't do anything can't move my mouse, nothing at all. I can only restrat by force my pc and it happens more and more often and I know that is because of this processor because with my old processor I never had this problem. I tried everything that I sore on internet but still doesn't change anything it still freezes my computer. Does someone has a magique solution ??

Lannis,

Have you tried clearing CMOS (i.e. unplug from A/C power and remove CR2032 battery from board for 15 minutes), reinstalling the latest BIOS and then resetting the BIOS configuration to defaults? This should completely clear any state from the other processor and configure for the new processor. If your board offers any kind of Recovery Install process for the BIOS, use that for the reinstallation step.

If you did windows update for meltdown/specter problem it will basically break your system. I know cause I updated mine i7-4970k with the patch and does all kinds of strange things. It is unusable at the moment. Even my i7 6700k now has internet stutter problem's and micro freeze's after patch. On win 7 as I hate win 10 so who knows what problems you will have if you using win 10.

Dude my system worked fine till patch came out has nothing to do with PSU. Check your facts before you make stupid ie dumb claims. It's your processor's that's to blame.

edited for language. Let's keep it clean.
