Hi everyone,
I am very new to the mechanics of pcs and am in the process of building my first with a Gigabyte H170N-WIFI motherboard.
However, after running the motherboard outside of the case, with CPU, CPU fan, & 1 stick RAM; the fan runs intermittently and the Motherboard keeps switching itself on and off, with no display showing on the monitor.. I'm wondering if it is down to the CPU compatibility.
I decided to buy the Intel i3-7100 as it is apparently compatible with the MOBO, but I realised it likely needs a BIOS upgrade. However, could this be a cause for the motherboard switching on and off, and not showing anything on the monitor?
Thanks!
