Not bad ideas. I will try it, tomorrow i will get on the phone with gigabyte support and make sure everything is correct and if it still doesn't boot ill send it back

Yes I used standoffs and the board is lifted

I think its correct, its color coded and all lined up with the labels. the second picture is me attempting to short it and still getting no boot. my best assumption is that it is choosing not to boot based on it thinking something is wrong, which leads me to believe it is the cpu fan, so i plugged in a sperate fan off a different motherboard and still no boot, so i assume its the socket, but ive had this issue on two seperate motherboards.

Ive tried both. I will look it up... I cant find anything relating to My power supplies securities online

Nothing turns on except the lights on the motherboard. How would i trigger securities on the PSU

Ive had this issue on two seperate motherboards and the second ones LED's light up. i dont think its the mobo. ive quadruple checked the power supply and its all plugged in. I have reseeded my ram hundreds of times along with the wires connecting to the power supply, on both processors i made sure the triangle was lined up.

I plugged it into my old motherboard and it worked fine.

I cant update the bios because there is no power what so ever, i cant even short it to get it to boot.

Hello. I recently posted on here about my computer not booting after I attempted to upgrade it with a new motherboard and processor. I had a gaming computer I really enjoyerd but decided after not getting the performance I wanted to upgrade it. I got an MSI Z370- A- PRO and an i5 9600k, install it throw everything together, plug it in, and press the power button. Nothing. No fans no LED's nothing. So, i follow the guide at the top of this form about not booting. Still nothing. Decide that it is probably a mother board issue so I drive down to fries electronics, buy a new motherboard, (The gigabyte pro gaming SLI Z390) and more ram. I go home, plug everything in, and LED's on the back of the motherboard turn on so i figure it will work, press the button and once again no boot. I figure at this juncture that it must be the CPU, the next day, i drive to memory express in Canada and buy an i5 8600k after watching a youtube video saying the 9600k was far worse than the 8600k, drive home and plug it in, still no boot. This is when I turned here for help. if anybody could help me or tell me what im doing wrong it would be greatly appreciated. Below will be links to PC part picker showing my exact specs and an imgur link linking to images of my motherboard. Thanks! ? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fHjG6s https://imgur.com/a/3CNocBc

Hello. I posted on here about 4 months ago about wanting to upgrade a prebuilt I got off the company iron side. I liked the advice I received and this last week decided to go through with the plan to upgrade. I went to Newegg and ordered an i5 9600k for a good deal and an msi z370 a pro. The parts arrived yesterday and I started putting things together. I get it all ready and it doesn’t boot. I follow the guide on this form pinned at the top, still doesn’t boot. Guide says if it still doesn’t it’s probably the motherboard. So I go pickup a new motherboard, I got the gigabyte gaming x lga1151 and go home. Plug everything in add cooler the whole nine yards and when I plug it in the leds on the back of the motherboard turn on but it still won’t boot. The only thing I haven’t changed yet is the graphics card and proccesor which leads me to believe Newegg sent me a dead proccesor... Here is a PCpartpicker list of my specs, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! Thank you all for the recomendations, I was thinking an i7 8700k because i edit 4k video, which is an incredibly hard task for my old laptop that had an older generation i7, i figured i would upgrade the i7 now then upgrade gpu later. I am not the biggest fan of AMD, but willing to try it again, thoughts?

Hello! I recently bought a prebuilt PC from ironside called the ironside grunt advanced, i was happy with the computer but felt there was more to be desired, so i started saving up for a new proccesor because i have a 1050 but an intel pentium proccesor so i figure it was time to upgrade. But with the motherboard i currently have i cant put the proccesor on it so i need a new motherboard to put an i7 8700k on and so i was going to ask, what is a good budget mother board good for overclocking, should i get a new cpu cooler and remove the standard intel heat sync and if so what cooler, should i get more case fans? Should i get more ram? I only have 4 gigs, i have a budget of about 670 usd to upgrade this thing, what are my best options? If anyone could inlighten me right now that would be fantastic, Thanks!
