Solution
The CPU you have is a KabyLake model and your motherboard will not recognise it as the motherboard was released when the SkyLake chips were more common. To run your CPU with the Z170A motherboard, you need to update the BIOS by visiting https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-GAMING-M5 and downloading a newer version onto a USB stick. The problem you are going to have is this, In order to update the BIOS you need to use a 6th generation (SkyLake) or older CPU in your motherboard. Once the BIOS has been updated you can then put your i7 7700 in the motherboard and it will work fine.
