[SOLVED] PC will not post.

[Zizxy]

Hello,

Recently I have assembled a PC but it won't get past the post stage.

Parts are as follows:

Intel i5 7500 CPU

MSI GTX 980

MSI Z390-a pro Motherboard

2x8 DDR4 RAM

Hyper 212 Evo CPU fan

EVGA 650 Watt power supply

When I fully built the PC it would briefly spin up but then shut off, so I disconnected the CPU power and booted it again; everything lit up and all fans were spinning properly but the CPU light on the EZ debug was on (to be expected) So I removed the GPU and reconnected the CPU power and tried again. The CPU light flashed on as she spun up but then the PC shut off again. So far I have disconnected all the ram, GPU, Drives, and even attached the stock cooler that came with the CPU and still when the PC tries to post the CPU light flashes and the PC shuts off.

Is there something I'm missing here or is there a possibility that the CPU may be defective?

Hi,
The CPU is not compatible with that board. Here's the CPU Support lIst:

Your CPU is not supported on that motherboard. Z390 chipset is for Coffeelake CPU's. The i5 7500 is 7th generation Kaby Lake.

Well that would certainly do it wouldn't it?

That's a shame on my end, third build in and i overlooked that entirely somehow, thanks for the information!
