Hey Folks,
I recently decided to upgrade my cpu and motherboard. My original set up:
Gigabyte z77 Ud3h atx lga 1155
Intel core i5 3470s
8gb (2x4gb) Crucial Ballistix SP ddr3 1600
evga supernova 750 watt g2 80+ gold
cooler master hyper 212 evo
msi gtx 760 2F oc
Zalman z11 plus case
This was all working fine at the time of the exchange.
I dropped in a core i7 4790k and a Gigabyte z97 gaming 7. After i did that and hooked everything up, my machine began a pattern of attmepting to post, but restarting every 3 seconds. I tried testing the ram sticks one by one, but the problem persisted. I checked and re-checked all of my wiring and it seems fine to me; the 8-pin for the cpu is in its place, as well as the 24-pin. I removed my cooling solution because i suspected that i had put a little too much thermal compound on the cpu. I cleaned everything appropriately and re-seated the cooler with a little less compound, but adequate coverage.
While i had the cooler off, i checked to see if i could see any bent pins on the mob/cpu, but i really didn't see anything out of the ordinary, though, i haven't had the chance to look at it with a magnifying object. I will do that again today just to make sure.
I also attempted to boot by disconnecting my drives, because I understand they'll need to be reformatted, but i cant even get into my bios. So my questions here are:
A) I did some research on both of these products before i went out and randomly purchased them and i saw nothing that would lead me to believe they're incompatible. But are they?
B) What else should I check in troubleshooting?
C) Admittedly, I have not checked the stand-offs, as I did not change them from mobo to mobo. Is that an idiotic thing to have done?
D) My PSU is weeks old and has not given me issues at all. Is there any reason wy the one i have wouldn't work with my set up? Is it too weak?
Any information is greatly appreciated! Save meh, Tom Cruise!
