Subject: Stuck after upgrading CPU

So I recently decided to upgrade my 9700k to 9900k on my z390 Taichi. But after installing the 9900k, I'm unable to boot into windows 10.
I reinstalled my 9700k and it boots just fine.
So I tried to install the 9900k again and I have the same issue. So I decided to do a fresh install of windows but it freezes at the windows logo.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have the 9900kf and z390 taichi with P4.30 bios with Windows 10.
Maybe try updating the bios first, then try installing Windows 10.

Hi Matticus,

Thank you for your post.

Please update the BIOS P4.30 with your 9700K and check the result. The download link is below.

I linked the instant flash SOP as below.
