I just built my first computer and it looks great, however when i tried to start it for the first time it didn't come to the bios, it just shut down and tries to start agian but the same thing happens and it goes like that over and over again. I checked gigabytes site and read about the motherboard (Gigabyte Z170 Gaming K3-EU) and found a list of supported memory. I couldn't find the memory i installed (HyperX Fury Black 2133mhz 4x2GB) I did some research and i read that if you install incompatible memory the pc wont boot, just as what happened with my pc. So if you know if this is the problem or if it can be something else please answer me. Thanks

Specs:
i5 6600k
Gigabyte Z170 Gaming K3-EU
HyperX Fury Black 2133MHz 4x2GB
MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 3GB
Corsair Force LE 240GB
Corsair CX650M

Actually work through each step. Don't assume all is fine.

There's many potential causes, and removal of the GPU can commonly work. Using a single RAM module might get you moving forward too.

The QVL with compatible RAM is rarely up to date and, in most cases, almost all RAM of appropriate spec will work (but on rare occassions it wont)
