I recently bought a new CPU, the i5-9600k in replace of my old cpu the i5-7500. On boot after resetting the CMOS and putting in new thermal paste the PC started for a second with fans spinning and then powered off. The motherboard diagnostic lights say it was due to the CPU where it either is not detected or failed.

I put in my old CPU and the PC worked with no problem.

Things to note:
I had to use a paper-clip for the CMOS reset PC

PSU: CX 500
MB: B250m Motherboard MSI
New CPU: i5 9600k
Old CPU: i5 7500

Solution
motherboard only support 6th/7th cpu
is in the cpu supported list on MSI website

and you should get a new cooler for 9600k, not the stock i5 7500 cooler

https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-H310M-...tel+9th+gen+motherboard&qid=1592328035&sr=8-6 Okay, I'm gonna invest in this, supports everything i got. What cooler would you recommend that is sufficient enough?
