Installed New CPU worked once, Now computer won't start - only beeps

[ddiruscio]

Hello,

I decided to upgrade from an i3-6100 to an i5-6700k, I also got an aftermarket cooler which I also installed. I first updated my motherboard (H110-A/M.2) to the latest BIOS so I could run the i5-7600k, after that my upgrade went smoothly as planned. I turned the computer on while the side paneling was off and it booted up fine to the BIOS Screen that said "New CPU Detected", so I shut it down and put the panels back on and plugged the peripherals back in. However the next time, I booted up it would do 1 long beep and 2 shorts beeps. I haven't been able to get it past that point despite resetting CMOS/battery, removing/inserting RAM, putting old i3-6100 back in with original stock cooler. I am quickly running out of options and am worried I may have fried a component.

Any help is very much appreciated!! I am very worried about the future of my computer.

CPU: i3-6100 -->i5-6700k
Mobo: ASUS H110-A/M.2
Memory: Ballistix Sport 8GB
Power Supply: *Corsair - CXM 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1029959/, memory not found. Reseat your memory.

I have tried reseating the memory in both slots, still doesn't work unfortunately. The memory was working perfectly too before this, so I'm a little confused as to whats happening.

look at the pins on motherboard maybe you bent a pin or 2 that controls the memory

Okay, I will check this right now. Would the pin be in the slot that RAM sit's in? (The one that clamps down on the RAM stick)

 

[Dragos Manea]

no, it would be under the cpu. check the pins under the cpu.
