[SOLVED] New Build, No Display, only one hint of doing POST

[allenjblodgett]

I am building my own PC for the first time in a few years. I have everything assembled and will power on. Everything appears to be working, except I get no display on my monitor. Just now it gave me a beep code which was because I didn't have a keyboard plugged in.

I have purchased an Intel Core i9-9900K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor and

Gigabyte H370M DS3H Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

and PC Part Picker is giving me this error: Some Intel H370 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Coffee Lake Refresh CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.
Does anyone know if this is why my new PC build won't show anything on my display?

Probably. That board has a poor power phase not sure I would even use the board with that processor.

Takes the F11 BIOS version of the board.

I'll second what Zerk said. It's always good to check compatibility issues before your purchase, not after!

In any case, this is a completely inappropriate board to be using with an i9-9900k, even if technically compatible. If you want a Ferrari, you have to pay extra for the stuff that goes with owning a Ferrari. Return it and get a proper Z390 motherboard; a Z390 Gigabyte Aorus Pro is about as cheap I'd go with this CPU.
