Hi thereto today my employer bought me an i7 ivybridge 3770k processor and 8GB Kingston RAM. This is an upgrade from my i5 2400 and 4GB Kingston RAM for smoother development.
I first took my pc apart and dusted it off, built it back up with the i7 and the new 8GB in, and it would start, but not show on the screen. I tried everything, old ram, new ram, cables, graphics card, motherboard but nothing. Then I decided to put my i5 back in. It loaded but in system it said unknown CPU and unknown ram. So I tried the i7 again, nothing.
I managed to get the i5 again, managed to get into the bios. Many people online said update the bios, so I did. Now I try start my pc, it goes for around 3 seconds, and stops, starts again and same thing. An endless loop, its not even long enough for me to reset the CMOS.
I can't figure out what it is, I tried every combination.
When I have the i5 in, the lights on my keyboard and mouse light up almost instantly, and my screen shortly after, but if I have the i7 in, the keyboard and mouse wont light up, and my screen goes onto the 'nothing is trying to show' screen with the power light flashing.
What could be the issue??
Thanks in advance, josh.
