Might be a dead CPU or wrong chipset. Could even be shipping damage. Either way you can't use it so get a refund (if possible).

It's 100 percent the right chipset I checked you think it's dead ?

Yep. 

Seeing as the other CPU works fine in the motherboard I'm pretty sure the CPU is dead.

It's 100% the wrong chipset.

The QN8G is an 8000 series CPU and the motherboard you have is for 7th and 6th generation CPUs and NOT compatible with 8th gen CPUs

300 series Intel chipset boards will work just fine.

Thanks for clearing that up!  

I misread the chipset when I was looking at the mobo specs.
