[SOLVED] Cannot Boot MSI Z270 SLI Plus

[EnglishJohn]

I have successfully assembled two PC's from parts . Now neither of my two SLI Plus's will boot. Fan goes around, usually no speaker sounds and that's it. Equipment is at http://www.mudie.info/JohnsWiki/index.php?title=Super_Computer#Equipment_on_Hand . Build History (sorta) at http://www.mudie.info/JohnsWiki/index.php?title=Super_Computer#Build_History .
What's my next best move?

Okay those links are confusing as hell.

What cpu/motherboard are you trying to put together.

The z270 boards will only support skylake or kaby lake CPUs.. 6th and 7th gen

Thanks for the suggestion Supahos/

CPU is Intel Pentium G2030. Motherboard is MSI Z270 SLI PLUS. https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z270-SLI-PLUS/#down-manual .
Manual states "Supports 7th/6th Gen Intel® Core™ i3/i5/i7 processors,and Intel® Pentium® and Celeron® processors for Socket LGA1151"

Is the manual incorrect and I need Skylake or Kraby processor?

If that is the case,it's wonderful news to me. Maybe it will boot after six months of trying !!!!
John feeling hopeful

P.S List of parts now at http://equipment.mudie.info .

Those CPUs are 3rd gen... So not 6th/7th or skylake kaby... They're ivy bridge https://ark.intel.com/products/74749/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G2030-3M-Cache-3-00-GHz-

Now you just have to hope you didn't hurt the motherboard or CPUs trying to use them in an different socket as those are lga1155 and your motherboard is lga1151

I am falling in love with redneck farmers from Arkansas as I hang my head in shame in not noticing the socket discrepancy. I have ordered a G3900 (is that OK?) but won't be able to tell if the motherboards are OK as I will be going to sea the day the G3900 CPU arrives.
But even if the motherboards are fried, I am glad because I am hopefully making progress.
Do I need to buy a Razorback T-shirt and wear it as penance?

Yes those CPUs are skylake so they should work. And na you're not the first second or hundredth to make that mistake. No pentance needed

The redneck farmer from Arkansas was right, I put a G3900 into two of the previously non booting motherboards and they are now botting into the Bios. Havent tried the third motherboard yet!

[EnglishJohn]

I did put the correct CPU into a motherboard which previously had the worng CPU in it and IT BOOTED into the BIOS
Phew
