So I upgraded my CPU to a fourth gen i7-4470k from a 3rd gen i5-3570k, and in order to do that I had to upgrade my motherboard to a Z87-A. I did that and rebuilt it and placed everything back in order within my case. I try to boot it up and I get a steady solid red CPU_LED light. What am I doing wrong? I have looked through the forums to find similar problems and it seems most people recommend looking for bent pins, now this is my first build and first upgrade, I am only 16 so I don't know too much about this stuff. I looked for bent pins and didn't notice any, it is possible I could have missed them. I have no idea what else I should do in order to fix this. I should also mention that occasionally it will boot up perfectly fine. For it to do this I have noticed that I must shut it on and off a few times. After i do this 3-4 times (sometimes more, sometimes less), the computer boots up perfectly normal like nothing was ever wrong. When it doesn't boot up the red CPU_LED is solid steady and on. What should i do to fix this??
