My system has been running flawlessly since 2013. I rebuilt the cooling system because the hoses were getting pretty bad and I needed to clean the entire system anyhow. After I put it all back together I noticed Prime 95 was sending my temps into crazy land so I figured the thermal grease I used was too old. Replaced it with new AS5 and now if I try to boot into Win10 I get "b1initializelibrary failed 0xc000003f". If I try to use a Win7 DVD I get a blue screen with 0xc00003f. If I try to boot into Linux it fails out unless I boot into UEFI with Fedora. Even then, the usability seems extremely limited.
I've run IPDT64 with UEFI and it passes everything but the CPU Frequency check. I've tested the RAM with Memtest and it passes with flying colors. I'm able to boot the machine only if the OS is a CLI based like DOS or UEFI Linux, otherwise it's a no-go. What can I do to determine whether my Processor or Motherboard is the issue? I'm thinking its the proc because it's old and the temp shot up to 100C for a few seconds with the bad AS5. At this point I can't afford to replace both, and I CERTAINLY can't afford to upgrade the processor, MB and RAM to newer stuff. Basically I just need to know how to troubleshoot this further so I can get back to running because no X-plane 11 or Arma 3 is making me very cranky LOL.
Thanks in advance.
