do you have a speaker installed? (if not, get one and install it: https://www.amazon.com/PC-Motherboard-internal-speaker-Corpco/dp/B01527H4W2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1515639360&sr=8-3&keywords=motherboard+speaker The User's Guide for the motherboard will tell you where to plug it).


Then tell us how many beeps, short and long, you're getting from the speaker when you turn the kit on.

So it doesn't beep unless I have the speaker???

yeah, that's pretty much the way it is. You should have gotten a speaker with either the case of the motherboard: it plugs in to the header at the corner of the motherboard that the other front case connectors plug into.

I'm



Yeah no I checked all my boxes and on my case I don't see anything at all

 

[mazboy]

then the first step is acquiring one...

Ok I'll try that.. but just out of curiosity do you think the motherboard or the cpu could be shot?? I know I need the speaker and u can't really tell but just cease off of what I told u

the only time I ever had a repeat fail-POST loop like you have is when the CPU was either poorly seated, or the CPU wasn't supported by the motherboard it was installed in. Perhaps I am wrong in making the assumption that your motherboard and CPU are compatible?

I used pc partpicker and it said that they were compatible i would hope they are

 

[mazboy]

ok. let's start here. what is your processor and motherboard?

The good news: you're only slightly screwed.
The bad news: * For 7th Generation Intel® Core™ processors support need to update the latest BIOS.

Yeah, the board you have has the F3 (or earlier) BIOS, you need the F20 or later BIOS. I have personally run into this on the GA-H110M-A motherboard. There are only 2 solutions:
1) Get an RMA from Gigabyte, return the motherboard so they can upgrade the BIOS
2) Find a 6th gen CPU (I keep a spare Celeron G3900 around for just this purpose), install it, update the BIOS, remove the Celeron and reinstall your i7-7700.

I apologize. The thing is, if you'd had the speaker, we could have talked about the 4 beeps between each shut down and figured this out quicker.
