Installed New CPU - All lights working, fans spinning but no post, beeps or display

[ArashitheCat]

I bought an Intel Core i5 4690K processor today in replacement of my older one in hopes to run games more smoothly. I installed the CPU fine and the fan sits locked in place and plugged into the CPU FAN section of my motherboard. My computer has an ASUS H81M-Plus motherboard and an LGA1150 socket, as is required for the processor. My PCs input wattage is 750W and I have a 500GB seagate baracuda hard drive. This is my first time installing a CPU, and I had help from my brother who has had plenty of experience in doing this. I have tried updating my BIOS, and performed a CMOS Reset and neither have worked, I have looked through the forums here and tried anything I've come across, none of which has worked. If anyone could help figure this out, I would be eternally grateful.

Does it start with the old CPU? What board using?

My PC works fine with the old CPU, and I am running on a H81M-Plus ASUS motherboard as suggested in the description.

What BIOS version is currently installed (check in BIOS)?
And what method have you used for updating it?

The BIOS version is 2205, and I used a flash drive to update them.

Have you used EZ Flash in BIOS?

I did use EZ Flash to update my BIOS, but that's all I have used it for.

Try using BIOS Updater from BIOS Utilities.

Check the board's manual for how to (make a DOS bootable USB).

This is what I used before, I selected my OS (Windows 7 x64) and selected the BIOS, I then selected the newest version and installed it on a flash drive, before going into the BIOS and installing the update.

Check the manual http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1150/H81M-PLUS/E8448_H81M-PLUS.pdf?_ga=1.123762947.885468545.1457372258
pages 2-3, 2-4. Is it how you've flashed it?

This is exactly how I flashed the USB, and how I updated the BIOS.

Then it should work.
Is the CPU new?

Yes, the CPU was bought yesterday brand new from amazon.co.uk, but when we installed it into my PC, we had all of these errors, and nothing I've tried has worked at all. I checked the compatability list on my motherboard, and it is compatable with this CPU, so there isn't any conflict there.

An option would be ordering a BIOS chip from ebay and replacing the board one. This way, you'd rule out a BIOS issue.

I would, but since I spent the last few hundred pounds on the CPU, I can't even afford the £13 ones, and am also not really looking to buy any other parts at the moment. But thanks for all of the help so far.

No problem. Unfortunately, I have no other idea than RMA-ing the CPU. But... not sure that it's a CPU issue.
