Dead parts or compatibility

[Bill Bloggs]

Hi all,

I've recently purchased the following parts

intel Pentium Dual Core G4560

Gigabyte H110M-S2H Motherboard (Socket 1151, H110 Express, DDR4, S-ATA 600, Micro ATX)
by Gigabyte

Crucial 16 GB (8 GB x 2) Single Ranked DDR4 2133 MT/s (PC4-17000) DIMM 288-Pin Memory Kit
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01BIWKUVC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I had no luck with the initial build, experiencing 10 second restart loops. I thought I could see a dodgy pin on the mobo so i've returned this and got a new one.

This issue still persists after recieving a new mobo, where after booting I get no signal to the monitor.

I've tried single RAM sticks / double combo's, with / without the GPU, without any peripherals etc so I can only assume at this point i've got a broken CPU or compatibility issues are there is surely no way both RAM sticks can be fried.

My initial research showed these parts should work fine togeher, have I missed something?

Thanks

h110 board isnt compatible out of the box, requires BIOS update(which requires it to be booted with a skylake cpu installed to do so). you need a b250 board

either take it to a pc repair shop and see if they will do this for a cheap price, or return it and get b250, keep in mind b250 starts at about $65-70

The motherboard needs bios F20 to support gen 7 processors.
It was released 11/14 2016 so the enabling bios should should be present on fresh stock.

To be certain of support, return the motherboard in favor of any 200 series chipset motherboards.

Or. borrow a gen 6 processor to do the flash yourself.
