So I just got a new motherboard and processor. The motherboard is an Asus z97-ar and the processor is an Intel core i5 4690K. The motherboard has an 8 pin socket for the CPU power cable but my CPU only has a 4 pin cable. I tried using the 4 pin cable as directed and red LED's flashed which means something isn't plugged in correctly or that another error occurred. I quickly shut off the PC. And yes I did use the CPU power cable, not the +4 cable from the 20+4 pin power connector. Can anyone help?
NOTE: when I turn the PC on without the 4 pin CPU cable plugged, everything seems to start up correctly (fans turn on, hard drive turns on, CPU fan turns on, EXCEPT that no video will be displayed on my monitor. I have tried plugging an HDMI chord into the motherboard to try to boot I with the motherboards on-board graphics system. No results. And I have also tried using a VGA plugged into my monitor which connects to a DMI adapter which goes into my graphics card. (Nvidia Quadro 5000)
