[SOLVED] New CPU installed PC doesn't start

[Lampi]

Hi,
I wanted to upgrate my old CPU from i5-7500 to i7-9700k, both have the same sockets LGA1151 and I checked the motherboard if it's compatible (msi b150 mate) with the new CPU.

If I start the PC the fans start turning and the light that shows that the motherboard gets electricity is shining and after that the PC immediately powers off.

I put in the old CPU checked if the PC still works and it does. After that I did a bios-update and installed the new CPU again with a CMOS reset. Still the same result when trying to start the PC.

What else can I do?

I appreciate any answers and thank you.

It appears that the Motherboard you have doesn't support that i7. The reason for this is because of the chipset of your motherboard, when looking for a cpu make sure to search up you Mobo Chipset in this case (B150).

The I7-9700k is a newer CPU and is only compatible with motherboards with these following chipsets.

"H310, B360, H370, Z370, and Z390"

Even others stated that this CPU is not compatible with your MB because of the Chipset.

Get a motherboard within that chipset range I've typed down earlier in this text, you could sell your current motherboard ans save up for one that supports your i7-9700k.

I checked the motherboard if it's compatible (msi b150 mate) with the new CPU.

Obviously, you didn't check close enough:
MSI B150 PC-MATE CPU Support List
This motherboard only supports 6th and 7th generation processors (even with the same CPU Socket).

Your only option is a new motherboard.
