Not my first build. I am building two computers for work, both with the same specs. The Motherboard is an MSI H110I Pro, the CPU is an Intel Core i7 6700K.
On the first one:
I put the CPU in the socket with no problem, and then I put the cooler on, no problem, but It isn't quite as tight as I'd like. Shouldn't be related to this anyways. Then I popped in a couple RAM modules and set it on top of the cardboard box it came in to make sure it would boot (no speaker of course so I couldn't listen for POST beep). But the video output doesn't do anything and the "CPU" light on the motherboard shines red, which is probably bad.
Second one: Same thing except I didn't bother mounting the CPU cooler. Just turned it on for a brief moment to see if it would give me the same red CPU light. It did.
Yes, i plugged in the 4 pin CPU Power plug. Yes, i seated the CPU correctly. Yes, I used thermal paste correctly on the first one. Yes, the RAM modules are seated properly. I checked the CMOS battery on one of them and it showed a good 3.0 V.
I'm kind of at a loss.
Any ideas?
