i5-4460 upgraded to i7-4790
asrock h97m-itx motherboard
16gb crucial ballistix 1866mhz memory (I run it at 1600mhz)
evga 500w 80+ psu
rx 580 8gb
I was upgrading my CPU today with a CPU that was confirmed to work, it was showed to me working, then I took it home. I did the standard, turn pc off, turn off psu, unpug psu, press power button. then I took all power cables, gpu and connectors off mobo, took mobo out of case, I had to take the RAM out to replace cpu because bigger cooler for i7-4790. then I put the new cpu in with its cooler. I reset the CMOS because new cpu, plugged back in RAM, ssd, and all other connectors. Booted computer, fans spin, case LED came on, but it never posted to the monitor. I took all the steps to power down the computer and tried booting with just 1 stick of ram, cpu with cooler, and the 24pin and cpu power plugged in but that didn't work. I tried almost everything I could think of, even putting in my old cpu and nothing worked to bring it back. Yes, after the first time when it didnt boot I just used the display port on the mobo. Could the cpu's have been killed in any way, Do you think my motherboard died along the way somewhere? I touched a ground every time my foot moved, even a little bit, but after hours of testing, that is the only thing I can think of what would be wrong since I know all of the parts worked before I did this. I just wanted other opinions before I went out to buy another mobo.
