Hey jiragan,

You need to install your old cpu and flash the motherboard bios.
All you need is an empty usb for this. there are great tutorials online! (like this : https://www.msi.com/page/biosflash )

After that you can install your i7 7700k and it will work

That's what I did before installing the new cpu, I installed the latest bios onto my USB and updated it im confused

 

[Jiragan]

Is the latest bios not the correct one?

 

[superninja12]

well did you confirm by looking at the bios you have got the lastest bios? it should work

 

[Jiragan]

I will reinstall my old cpu and check the bios

I checked the bios log and it said I didn't update anything wth? Do I try again or try a different dowbload

 

[Jiragan]

Okay so screw the log I just checked my bios version and it's the one I downloaded, that's out of the way what do I do now?

 

[superninja12]

Well if you have got the newest bios version you can install your new cpu and it should work .

 

[Jiragan]

And if it doesn't? Should I send it back as defective? Or should I clear the cmos but idk how that stuff works

I hardly doubt that its the processor that is at fault here... what kind of ram you got?

2x4 2133 hyper x fury, I got 2 more sticks on the way but Intel says I need 8gb for the 7700k but that's what I got

My dbug led says its dram AND cpu that's at fault but when I put In the old cpu there's no leds

It could be that you bent some of the pins on the motherboard socket. Did you just force the CPU off? But that's really hard to do so it could be that your motherboard is defective. I mean the b150 is a pretty old board, but the Ram Situation is weird. Do you have a different motherboard to test it on or a freinds PC to test it on? It could be just a bad board.

Also did you check the motherboards supported cpu list? It could be that the i7 7700K is not supported on that board. Also if the Ram was also a problem how could you check the Bios version? Another solution would be to go into your bios and see what version is installed just because it says it in windows does not mean squat if it does not say it in the bios itself. could also be that you had bad luck with the new CPU.

If I where you I would upgrade to something like a MSI B450 Tomahawk and a Ryzen 7 2700x (which outruns the 7700K at lower clock speeds and has more cache and cores) and is far too overpriced because it's overclockable. Not trying to start a war here, but if you want bang for your buck go AMD.

My pc runs fine on old cpu(i5 6500), I checked if it can use the 7700k and it can as long as I update the bios which I did. I only get the dram debug Led when my new cpu is in. And no I didn't force anything it might be that whoever said it supports it was wrong.

 

[Jiragan]

I just held the cmos button for 5 seconds, I turned on the pc with the new cpu and it did the same stuff. I don't know what to do any more suggestions?

Have you checked you ram compatibility with the i7 7700K? I would check the intel site to make sure they support your current Ram Sticks.

 

[Jiragan]

It supports ddr4 2133 which is what I have

Does not mean the new CPU supports that specific ram can I get the name of your motherboard?

No as long as you downloaded the BIos Correctly I'm seeing that it should be compatible. Hmm that's weird did you follow the guide to update your Bios to a T on youtube, or did you just try to do it yourself? Maybe there are some bent pins on the CPU I would check that with a eye glass. You could go to computer shop near you and ask if you could use one of there motherboards to see if your CPU and Ram Are working correctly.

The debug Led shows a long dram flash then it stops, followed by a short cpu led flash and it just repeats idk if it means anything

That does mean something Does your Ram debug light ever come back on, or does it turn off and then does not come back on. If That is it then It's most Likely a CPU problem. Do any lights come on when you use your i5 6500?

I used msi's video guide

It repeats, long ram flash followed by short cpu flash and repeats

That would mean it's probably both. What is weird is that you get a perfect boot with that RAM and that Intel i5 6500 right? No Lights at all? I am Still thinking there is a problem with a bent pin on the CPU I would look into that
