[SOLVED] No display i7-9700F

[Jpudlo01]

Hi, I'm encountering an issue and I'm stumped. I'm trying to upgrade my computer from i5-8400 to the i7-9700F. However, I'm getting no display when I have the 9700 inserted. I've reseated everything multiple times, and even put back my old CPU in and it worked fine. I've left the computer on for an hour just to see if anything would happen with the 9700 but nothing, and when I had my i5 in I tried to update the BIOS just in case with M-Flash but nothing. The only clue I have is that the light underneath my video card isn't coming on when it usually does when it's working fine, and I know the 9700F doesn't come with an integrated GPU. Ive probably reseated and replugged everything in 6x.

Was i5-8400 8th gen, trying to get I7-9700F 9th gen to work.

Has the BIOS been updated to a version that supports the 9700K? (If the mainboard still functions with the 8400, check to see what version is shown, and report it here..)

Once changing the CPU(assuming you ever get a BIOS into it that should function with it), you might have to pull power, and pull the BIOS battery, and clear CMOS..

Ive aleeady battery out for 10 mins and then put it back in to clear the BIOS, but I'll put the old processor back in and check what version it is.

BIOS Ver: E7B61IMS.110

Updated and flashed the BIOS and got it working, thank you!
