Pc does not boot or display anything after new motherboard and cpu installation.

[19dshriver]

I recently bought a i5-7600k and a ASUS B150-PRO D3. I installed them and everything was looking good. When I tried to turn it on it all came on, but nothing displayed on the screen. I noticed that my GPU fans were not on. So I thought that It may not fully be connected. I went back and rebuilt what I had done. When I turned it on the second time one of the GPU fans came on but the other didn't. I tapped the other fan and it came on soon after. Soon after I realized that the 8 pin power converter was not plugged into the motherboard. I plugged that in and my gpu completely stopped working. I ran CMOS multiple times and it did not work. On multiple sites I saw that this was a driver issue, but for the people with driver issues their pc did display the windows repair screen. Mine doesn't. This makes me think that my power supply may be the issue. I rebuilt my old system and now it works again. Should I clear my drives or try to install my motherboard drivers before I try again. Or is it my power supply?

First of all, that board needs a BIOS update for supporting the Kaby. I suggest returning it, if possible, and buying instead a B250 board.
Not sure about the GPU fans issue.

Is there any way for me to update it myself. And sorry for the down vote thing I didn't know what that was. Also my ram is ddr3 so I was having trouble finding a reasonably priced board.

 

[alexoiu]

No problem. You can order a BIOS chip on ebay and replace the board's one. Take care that you'd need DDR3L (low voltage RAMs). DDR3 memory might damage the CPU.

 

[19dshriver]

How much are these Bios chips? Is there enothing I can do with what I have?

Make sure that the chip does match the exact board model, if ordering one,
You'd need a supported CPU for updating the board's BIOS. If you can borrow one.

This is ridiculous that this motherboard isn't compatible. I don't have enough money for all these extra things so I'll have to wait to play. Is this the only thing I could do to make it work? Besides returning it. People were saying that I could install the drivers and delete my current ones pre-install. Is this possible?

This is why you research before buying. This is a very common and well known issue.
A 2xx series board will require DDR4.
This is a bios issue not a driver issue.
Your options are
1. Buy a bios chip with with a version of the bios that supports Kaby lake cpus
2. Buy a cheap Skylake cpu and use it to flash the bios
3. Return the board and buy a 200 series board and DDR4
4. Return the cpu and buy a Skylake cpu

Even after you get it working you will still likely need a clean OS reinstall to get the OS working properly.

Okay, Thanks for the options list. I suppose I am going to buy a BIOS chip or maybe use my friends i5 to flash it.

You didn't do this WHILE the system was running did you? If you did, you can probably stop looking for your problem and begin looking for a new motherboard, and possibly a new CPU and graphics card.

 

[19dshriver]

Nono It was off

 

[Darkbreeze]

Ok, just checking, because, you'd be surprised or maybe you wouldn't, at what we see people do on a daily basis. Heh.

This looks like it would work. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[bignastyid]

If the description is accurate it should work.

 

[19dshriver]

Okay, Thanks everyone for the help!

So now I'm dying of curiosity - did you get it to work and what method did you use?

"So now I'm dying of curiosity"
So am I. But just to see the Christmas presents...
