Hello,

I recently was able to get an upgradable origin EON17-X which has an I7-7700k + GTX 1080. I decided to try to upgrade the cpu, I installed an I9 9900k I recently purchased. When I attempted to boot up the labtop, it wouldn’t even start. The power light would turn on for a split second then just shut off. I reinstalled the I7 cpu and it works fine. I’m confused why it wasn’t working because I know the labtop can have up to a 9900k because it’s an LGA 1151 socket but I’m unsure if it’s a bios issue or motherboard issue if either one of these potential issues.

Just a guess you have the 10 series.
You might need to contact origin to see what the upgrade path is.
