Hello , so I recently bought some new parts , Intel Core i7 7700K , MSI Z170 M3 Gaming Motherboard , & Corsair Vengeance 16 (4x8) 3200MHz

I put the parts together and everything , I turned on the PC and it turned on everything was fine no error beeps but the PC was not posting , the dram light on my motherboard was on and wouldn't not post , I made sure they were in its right slots , (DIMM 2 & 4) I then reseated them , still same issue , I then took out the Ram , CPU , & Graphics card and reseated all of them , still doesn't want to post , DRAM light remains on , I also tried the PC with 1 Ram stick in but nothing , I really need help with this.

You will need the newer BIOS ( A 9 version at least) for the newer gen I7 7700K, that is very common problem, like before the haswell refresh cpu on the lga1150 MB.
You either buy other cpu to update the BIOS for support the i7 7700K or buy the Z270 for the i7 7700k
