[SOLVED] I5 4460 to i7 4770k

[Ryanc_98]

pc specs:
PSU : TSFX Bronze 80 plus 450W
CPU: Intel i7 4770k 3.5ghz (i5 4460 originally)
Graphics card : AMD Radeon Red devil RX580 8GB
Mobo: MSI H97 G43
RAM: 4x 4GB HyperX Fury
Storage: 120GB SSD & 500GB HDD
Monitor: BenQ Zowie 22inch 144hz LED

I recently snagged a cheap i7 4770k just to beef up my system a bit. However when installing the cpu my pc will not post. The fans spin for a second then stop then nothing. Everything works as it should when i re-install the i5. I troubleshooted all of my parts then when i was thinking i had fried my mobo i decided to try the i5 again and it worked. So what is the issue, i updated my bios to the latest version and still no avail. In my opinion it sounds like a faulty cpu being used it is a possibility and the person assured me it was working upon removal. I have been told i can get a refund but id rather have it work in all honesty. Any ideas?

Cryorig M9I single tower. What could this have to do with it though?

go into you bios and make sure you haven't done anything to limit it.

sure sounds like a bad CPU though. better sooner rather than later when requesting a return for refund.

the 4470 is like a quarter generation older than the chip set of your motherboard. I wouldn't think that would be an issue.
looks like both are 84 watt chips, so power supply and cooling shouldn't be issues.

What am i supposed to look for exactly in my bios?
Also i think you misread the post, its an i7 4770k not a 4470.

Maybe I'm using the wrong term, the quick "hit del" or something while the machine is booting up before the boot menus deal pops up.
