GIGABYTE GA-Z170XP-SLI black screen

[radarj11b]

Hello all. I have just built a new PC and I am getting nothing on screen when I power up. Power Supply is putting power out. All the lights on the board and tower are coming on. I get no POST test or any beep codes of any kind. All fans are running. Just no screen of any kind. Tried running with no RAM, or just one RAM stick. Still nothing. Running core i7 7700 and 16GB RAM. Running out of on board graphics card and not PCIe card. Have used 3 different monitors and tried HDMI, DVI, and VGA cables. This is the second MOBO and still nothing. Any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, Most probably the board needs a BIOS update for supporting the Kaby.
You'd need a Skylake CPU for that. Can you return the board?

I will check to see if I can. Any recommendations as to what BIOS I will need?

Awesome. I have a friend that has a supported CPU that we can use to update. Thanks for the info and suggestions.
