Thanks for taking the time to read this, any help would be much appreciated
!.
PC Specification
OS / Windows 7 64-bit
CPU / Intel i7-4770 @ 3.4GHz ( upgrading to i7-4790k)
RAM / 2x Kingston 8GB DDR3
Motherboard / ASUS 787M-PLUS ( BIOS version 1107)
GPU / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
PSU / Corsair VS450
Problem
I installed my new CPU today and was faced with the problem of the machine powering up (fans, LED's etc. all powering) but there was no display on the monitor, nor was there any beeps coming from the machines internal speaker.
Solutions I have tried(none of which have worked)
-I have triple checked that the CPU is seated correctly as well as all other components (RAM, GPU).
-I have tried the one stick of RAM trick (I have also removed both RAM sticks to hear for beeps on power up; nothing).
-Flashed the BIOS.
-Cleared the CMOS (also removed battery after clearing CMOS was unsuccessful).
Things to note
-CPU 8 pin plug is connected (plugged in).
-My DVI cable is plugged into the GPU, I have also tried it in the iGPU but to no avail.
-The CPU pins are not bent.
-I haven't tried the CPU in a different system, I'm going to ask my friend with a similar build if I can try the CPU in his PC (hopefully that diagnoses the problem).
-As far as I'm aware my PSU should be powerful enough for the build, but I could be totally wrong.
-I'm currently writing this from my PC with the i7-4770 back in. Everything is booting up fine and working as normal. Hopefully that eliminates the monitor, MOBO, GPU and RAM from being the issue.
-When I boot the machine with the i7-4770 in, I hear a single beep and the DRAM LED within the machine also powers on red. None of this happens when I attempt to make it to POST with the i7-4790k installed.
If you've made it this far thanks very much for having a read. Any suggestions are more than welcome. It's currently 12:35 am so I'm going to sleep on it and see if I can research anything else I haven't tried tomorrow.
P.S If the solution is something simple, or even worse something I have previously tried (badly in that case) then you have my sincerest apologies:lol:!
