I wanted to upgrade my cpu (for a long complicated unrelated reason), but in the process, my system now stays in a boot loop. I didn't change anything else with the system when swapping out the CPU so I am trying to isolate the problem
Specs (When system was working)
Cpu: i5-6600k
Mobo: Gigabyte z170x ultra gaming, flashed to F22 bios.
When I replaced the CPU with a i5-7600k, the system would not boot and power cycled. I was confused why this would happen and I initially thought this may be due to some issue with the bios, as it is a newer one and the intel 7000's series might not be supported.
Then I swapped back to my old i5-6600K, and I found that my system had the same issue in that configuration, ie would power cycle after ~10-15 seconds.
I tried resetting the cmos with jumpers/removing the battery but that did not seem to solve this boot cycling issue. Currently I'm stumped as to what happened, and I wonder if I am missing something obvious? I haven't checked my other hardware on my rig, but I haven't changed anything else since it was previously bootable, so I did not think the other hardware could be an issue.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
