i have my new pc(2 days)gtx 1060, intel 6500)

and i got a few old parts, cpu(i5 3550), 2x4gb 1333 ram, 2 stock cpu fans, box, got new 1155 socket motherboard for it h61m-vg4

i know those parts worked 2 months ago,(tech guy checked)

so i put my gtx 1060,i5 3550 in h61m motherboard, next i put stock fan(1 did not work the other worked but i cant fix it on motherboard so it can be moved easily)

next i put in cables, all connected except the cpu cable that i used on my new pc, on this one there seems to not be a place to put it in(there is simmilar looking socket but it's 4 pin instead of 8pin, and it's atx12v1

the power supply,hdd,disk reader is still in new pc but i connected cables to old pc.

i see black screen, fans do start moving, and they stay moving until i turn off the pc, never tried of leaving pc on over 3 minutes since i'm afraid of overheating the cpu

i connected only 2 of 6 screws could that be a problem?

it has a 4 pin but it doesnt have cpu written on it and the cable is 8 pin but i still tried and it did nothing i still turn on pc fans start moving but the screen does not show anything.black screen

i tried going back to 6500 build and it works fine, so it's either cpu,ram,compatibility or bad cable connecting, anyways i guess i'll just sell the parts
