Hi!
I'm pretty new to computer building. some days ago I ordered components to build a PC.
I ordered the following components of interest for my problem:
Moderboard: Asus Z170-a
CPU: i7 7700k
RAM : Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) / 2666MHz / DDR4 / CL16 / CMK16GX4M2A2666C16
PSU: Corsair RMx Series RM650x 650Watt 80 PLUS Gold
I also have the Dell UltraSharp ( U2515H 25" 16:9 2560 x 1440 AH-IPS )
and a GPU (Gigabyte GeForce GT 740 OC 2GB) but the problem is probably not with there.
So to my problem: I can not boot the computer properly so that I get video output on screen and entering bios. The screen does not get anything from computer (tried everything, HDMI, DP etc) and it just entering "power save mode".
On the moderboard:
When I turn the power on, the CPU led lights red for roughly half a second, and instantly after that, CPU led turn off and instead the DRAM LED light up red for about 4-5 seconds and then turns off. No other LEDs after that, except for the white on the other side of MB. The CPU-fan work fine and continuing so even after the red LED turns off.
After hours of error searching and "Googeling", almost throwing my computer out from the window, I come down to that its maybe has something to do with the compability of BIOS between motherboard and the "brand new" i7 7700k processor? Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone has similar experiences? Do I need to update this, and if so, how? Maybe it is something completely different. Anyone knowing what the problem can be having those components together?
Of course I have tried to boot with dirrefent RAM-slot permutations and also tried with completely other RAMs, with and without GPU and it's always the same problem.
