Newly builded PC doesn't POST

[Drozee]

Hello everyone. I have recently build a completely new PC, and im having trouble getting it to POST. The specs are:

• MOBO: Asus ROG STRIX Z390-F
• CPU: I7 6700K (Only momentarily) -  switching to I9-9900K in 2 weeks
• PSU: AX860I
• RAM: 2x Crucial DDR4 2400MHz 16GB (CT16G4DFD824A) for a total of 32G

When i turn on the PC, there's a little LED above the 24pin connector that says CPU and light red for ~half a second.

Afterwards there's a yellow LED that lights up next to "DRAM" and it stays like that for a couple of seconds.

A couple of seconds later the entire PC shuts down and resets.

Now a loop has begun, and these steps 3 steps repeats themself again and again.

 

-I've tried switching around the RAM to different slots, both mono and dual.

-I've tried completely removing the RAM. That resulted in the PC running for ~20 seconds but still without POST.

 

I don't have any other DDR4 RAM available to test with. But the RAM come from another build, where they worked fine.

 

Does anyone know any troubleshooting for this? I'm out of ideas, and so far lost all sanity from spending around 4K on a PC i cant even enter BIOS on

 

btw the upper yellow led in the video is the MemOK! turned on

The middle yellow is the DRAM

bottom red is the CPU

Z390 (1151-V2) is not compatible with skylake or kabylake cpu's (1151-V1), only 8th or 9th gen works.

Ohh okay. I thought it would still work because its a 1151 socket. I'd just expect the CPU LED to shine continuous yellow or red, and not the DRAM. I guess ill just have to wait until i recieve the 9900k

The 6700K and 9900K use the same socket (LGA 1151) but they work with different chipsets. The 6700K is not compatiable with a Z390 chipset motherboard.

Intel really should have done something about that, like make a physical notch to make it impossible to put those CPUs in.

I think people should just do a little bit of research before buying a product.

"a little bit of research" results in people seeing that the motherboard is LGA 1151, and think it's compatible. Intel is responsible for making their products consumer friendly, even though people should be knowledgeable about their own belongings.

I put all the parts in pcpartpicker.com (with the 9900k) and i didnt get any problems . I just had a 6700k laying around, and it had the same socket so i just expected it to fit. So it's not that big of a deal. And i genuinely feel like i've done a fair amount of research, considering its my first "fresh" build.

There are plenty of people that post with questions about getting an i7 7700k or something and saving up for an 8700k, so you're far from the first.

Well, I hope you didn't damage the socket / motherboard by putting the i7-6700K into there.

You should be okay, but doesn't hurt to double check it physically...

You enjoy that rig when you get the CPU,,, Your set for may years with that rig, just do video card upgrades and sh*T,,,, Also OC the 9900k to 5Ghz...…. So you can join the 5Ghz club and what not.

I have just installed the new CPU and everything works. Thanks for the help :)
