Hi,
thanks to LTT I got encouraged to build my first PC.
Now I'm currently discouraged because of:
problem here with PC not posting any display output + there's red led lights (on MB) showing on and off for CPU, DRAM, VGA.
My troubleshooting so far:
A) Fans spins => spins
B) Disconnected/demounted all components and mounted/connected back again => no problems detected
C) Checking CPU pins / Wrong thermal paste application => no problems detected
D) Switching RAM between DIMM slots (with different counts (1-2 sticks), with different orders) => no difference detected
E) Disconnecting all components besides CPU + RAM => no difference detected
F) CMOS reset by removing battery for 10+ min => no difference detected
I hope it is because the Gigabyte B360 Gaming 3 Wifi has old BIOS which is not compatible with i5 9600k.
Since I don't have any older CPU by hand, I'll probably buy some Z390 MB like MSI Tomahawk.
Please any thoughts, what else might it be? Or do you think I'm probably right on this one?
Any more troubleshooting to do?
Recomendation on cheap MB which would have stock bios with 9th GEN i5 support? (no overclocking needed since I'll be using 1660 Ti anyway)
