Hello,
Please note I am note very computer savvy.
I recently upgraded the processor on my computer from a 4th gen i5 (I don't know the exact model) to an i7 4790k. I am having a problem where the power turns on however there is no beep, the screen does not turn on, and the computer overall does not boot up. The CPU LED light is also on steady red.
I updated the BIOS, I cleared the CMOS. I tried taking the CPU out and putting it back in and it won't boot up.
I did put the i5 back in and the computer ran fine so I know that it is not the motherboard.
I also made sure that the Z87-A Motherboard is compatible with this processor.
I checked the chip and there was no noticeable damage, I even looked with a magnifying glass.
I am not sure what else could be wrong. Here are the specs of my computer that I am aware of as I built this with a friend 2 years ago:
Motherboard: ASUS Z87-A
Current (Non functioning CPU): Intel i7 4790k
NIVIDEA 660Ti Graphics Card
WD 1Tb Hard Drive
RAM: 8GB (2x 4GB 1600Mhz)
650w Power Supply
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
