Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 3

[abeausoleil1]

Hello all,

I am upgrading my computer to the above motherboard, paired with a GTX 1060, 8GB of gskill ram and an i5-7600k CPU. When I tried to boot up, no picture is displayed from the GPU or the motherboard ports. When I remove the ram stick, it beeps 5 times then shuts off. With the ram inserted, it just starts up and runs. Sometimes it turns off and turns back on as well. Is this issue because the motherboard has NOT been updated to handle my kabylake CPU?

If so, does anyone one I could purchase for a low price? This has been the only explanation I could come up with at this time. Thanks!

Z170 motherboard requires a 6th Gen CPU to update BIOS in order to use a 7th Gen i5-7600k. A G3900 Celeron will cost you an additional $40.
