May have,if you updated the motherboard resource,it may

have changed the settings,try looking in your bios and
see if the settings are at the same specs you need.Have
you tried booting in safe mode and removeing one update
at a time till it's fixed?Or......format and
reinstall,watch what your loading updates for and dont
load any for motherboard or processore.

Did you purchase the "virgin" computer as a complete unit, or did you
assemble it yourself?

If it was purchased then take it back and get it fixed or replaced.

If you assembled it then check the motherboard documentation for CPU
settings etc. Most recent motherboards use an autodetect function to
identify the CPU model and speed and then automatically configure
themselves for this.

Good luck
