Hello!
I recently tried to upgrade my i5-6500 to an i7-7700K on an ASUS Z170-A motherboard. I upgraded my BIOS the night before and checked to make sure the computer was fine. The next day I installed my new i7 with a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo. When I tried to boot up my computer, everything lit up and all fans were spinning. However, nothing appeared on my display and my GPU fans would stop spinning after 10 seconds or so. I tripled checked all my cables and wires but still nothing.
I thought maybe it was an issue with the new CPU so I re-installed my old CPU and it's old cooler but the same thing is happening now. I've tried resetting the CMOS (by removing the battery on the mother board) but that did not work either. I am truly confused to what my next move should be especially since my old CPU is no longer booting the PC as well.
Please offer any suggestions possible, thank you so much.
Computer Specs:
