No display, no beeps*, no POST

[NoTuchMyDrumSet]

*no system speaker

Brand new build, everything new. Breadboarded bare minimum, but still nothing.

I have gone through the troubleshooting guide step by step several times. So please don't make me list out the steps that are already lined out in the sticky. But just in case..
1. Probed the psu pins (they all check out)
2. Each stick of ram in each slot
3. Cmos reset
4. Used dvi and vga cables (neuther worked)
And so on...

System specs:
Gigabyte Ga-z170-hd3
Intel g4600
Kingston hyperx fury 2x4gb
500w evga

And the others that are not installed at the moment because I can't even get the latter to POST are:
MSI rx470 gaming x
Soundblaster xfi sb0460
Seagate 1T sshd

I thought I narowed it down to either the PSU, MOBO, or RAM. Ordered new ones, just installed them all annnnnnd... same thing. The ONLY thing that hasn't changed from the first test to the second is the CPU. Unfortunately I do not have a system speaker.

I can't just leave the house to go get parts of any kind as I'm on home monitoring from court(please don't ask.. nothing crazy though). And I'm very frustrated at this point. This is not my first build, but have never had this much difficulty. My other builds have worked the first time no problem.

I'm afraid it might be the CPU, but that's pretty unlikely, as I've been told and researched. Please, any input would be helpful. If it is the CPU, then I'm gonna get the g4560 while it's in stock. lol

It needs a BIOS update for a Kaby Lake

Only way you can update is buy/borrow a Skylake cpu. Take it to a shop

Or replace it with a B250 /Z270 mobo

You will have to update the BIOS first (as well) if you get a G4560. Since it is also a Kaby Lake CPU

Well thats a bummer.... I wish I had known that before hand. Guess I should have done a little more research. I will figure out what to do. Thanks so much for your reply Paul NZ

No probs, yup thats what you have to be careful of.

If you want a Kaby Lake, buy a B250 / Z270 mobo. It will be more compatible

Z170, B150 and H110 mobos need a BIOS update to support it

wait...no fans, no light. no power at all????? kabylake would at least spin fans and light a power on light, then shutdown at post. not trying to be funny but, yes, its an incompatibility. but youd at least see some life to begin with. it WILL power on with a kabylake.

Yes the comp powered on, all fans spun, all that jazz. Just no display post or anything of the likes. And it never shut down when it "tried" to post. It would just run forever basically.
