Upgrading a modest home-brew gaming PC from an older MSI board to;
- Asus B150M- A D3
- Intel i5 7600K
- 32 gb (4x8) of DDR3 1600 Hz Ram
- 280X Radeon GPU
- Seagate 1 TB (main drive, Windows 10 installed),
- Samsung 1TB solid state drive (secondary)
- Rosewell Case.
I've tried an HDMI in the GPU and the motherboard, as well as a VGA cable in the motherboard. Everything is plugged in correctly and tightly. I triple checked that everything is compatible on paper (I've made that mistake before, I'm SURE I haven't made it here).
When I press the power button, everything spins up like you'd expect, the motherboard lights are glowing, the internal lights and the case fans, the CPU cooler fan, and the GPU fan all spin up, and the hard drives are going; but my Razor keyboard/mouse don't light up and there's no image on the screen.
My main concerned is that I've gone and bought a board with an outdated BIOS that won't run my i5 without an update, this was a budget build and my previous CPU was an 1150 socket and this board has an 1151... Any advice you can offer on how to fix this or insight at all would be most appreciated. Thank you for your time!

its a kaby lake cpu and a b150 motherboard.. bios needs updating to get this system to work. you need to either borrow a skylake cpu and then update the bios.. or take to a pc repair shop and have the bios updated for a fee.. or choice 3 and probably the easiest choice.. return the motherboard and buy a z270 motherboard,,any 200 series motherboard will do.. but as you have a K series cpu it is best paired with a Z270 motherboard because only the Z series boards allow overclocking . but in doing this change of motherboard.. you will need to upgrade your ram from ddr3 to ddr4

infact you appear to be correct. no kaby lake cpu support bios update at all for the board.

this is what i would suggest normally but with that cpu probably makes more sense to go for a z270? although i haven't woken up properly yet this morning .. the b250 supports ddr3 but the z270 doesn't ?

well I just followed what he started with , should he get a Z270 to draw full potential of his 7600K cpu , of course.
but he bough a B150, I just stated he should of bough a B250 to run that cpu. but your right a Z270 would be wiser

I think you're right. I did check that this board is compatible with the DDR3 RAM I already have, are you sure that it's not going to work?

the ram is compatible but the cpu is not . before you change your board for a b250 or a z270 check to make sure that the board supports ddr 3 . if you're unsure tell me here which board you intend to purchase and i will make check on it for you .

edit: just looked for a board that will support DDR3 and none of them do. the only boards that do are the z170 b150 h110 and they will give you the same problem you have now ... you will need to have access to a skylake cpu to update your bios. your current board will not support this cpu though as there isn't a bios update for that motherboard to give support for kaby lake cpus.

you're going to need to change your ram to ddr4 as well as change your motherboard to use that cpu.
