Upgraded PC, now it doesn't boot.

[Genjiro]

I bought a new i7 4790k, paired with a new Asrock Z97 Extreme 6, i reused my Corsair XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory from my old parts and also reused my MSI R9 270. I also bought a new EVGA Supernova 750W PSU for it. After i'm done installing everything, i tried to boot it up, but instead it gave me a led blinking 00. I searched it up and found out it was something with my CPU, i double checked my CPU, the power cords, made sure it was all nice and tight, reinstalled thermal paste, looked like it didn't work. When I turned on my PSU switch (The one on the back), it just kept blinking "00", the fans were working, PSU fan, case fans, GPU fans, CPU fan was also working. I've also searched up if my RAM was in the ASrock supported list, turns out it wasn't. Does this mean its my RAM? if it is, then why is the led blinking towards my CPU? Btw, Im using a hyper 212 evo too. If it is my CPU, how do i know if its dead or alive? I need quick answer, thanks.

Yes, it was all running at the same time, he even navigated in the BIOS menu. is this a problem in my outlet now?

If all the parts he used are the same i dont see any reason shy it shouldnt work, are you sure you have everything plugged in(8 pin cpu,24pin molex) ?

I SOLVED IT: Thank you to everyone that helpd me, sorry if I was being super annoying throughout. Thank you jollypirate, BrandonYoung,Devastation20, it turns out i had a bad PSU. I used my old CX500M (Yes in my old post i said it was broken, turns out that I had to press the power button in the mobo to boot it up, now its working fine). THank you guys so much, turns out i had a bad PSU, gonna RMA this PSU and hopefully get my money/get a new working one. (My EVGA Supernova 750W is a defective PSU, so i used an old Corsair CX500M to replace it, and it works perfectly).

I know lol, im just glad i fixed it without having to pay a crap ton of $$. anyway, now that i have my new parts installed, do i have to reformat my OS?

Two problems with one build, it's not your lucky day (month)! Don't let this discourage you from future builds however (perhaps try buying from another shop in the future though).

Glad you figured everything out and hopefully you can get a suitable replacement for your PSU!

Yes if you have a new cpu you need to reinstall the os, there are alternatives that let you keep the data if you want to do that though
