Hi guys, I recently rebuilt my computer. I was initially having issues with my old build where the computer would boot but I wouldn't get video and the keyboard/mouse wasn't getting power. I bought a new motherboard, ram, video card and processor but I'm having the same issue. However, I also noticed that the red LED for the CPU EZ Debug is on, not blinking.

The CPU and socket is fine, no bent pins. I tried reseating and then taking everything out and rebuilding the PC, but to no avail. Tried only having the CPU and motherboard in while booting, still same issue. Also tried with one stick or ram, same thing. Has anyone encountered this issue before?

My speccs are:

Asus Turbo GTX 1080
Corsair Vengeance 4GB x2
TX 650W
MSI Z370 Gaming Plus
Intel i7 7700k

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Um, I am sorry to say this. You can not put an I7 7700k on a z370 mb. It will not work. The z370mb only works with 8th generation cpus. Again I am sorry to say this. You should have done your research. Send it back if you can and purchase a z270mb.
