I recently bought an i7 8700k and GTX 1070ti to upgrade my pc that currently had 1050ti and a pentium cpu but it wasn't so great. I replaced my old cpu and the gpu with the new ones and tried to start up my computer but it wouldn't turn on. At first i was confused, but then i decided to mix up the pc parts. I used the 8700k cpu with my old 1050ti and my pc still wouldn't turn on. Then i put in the Pentium cpu with the 1050ti to check if my pc would even turn on with the old parts, and it did. Then i tried the Pentium cpu with the 1070ti and the pc turned on and i logged into windows, but then i opened up "dxdiag" and went to display but the gpu wasn't there. It didn't say the 1070ti under "name." It seems like my pc just doesn't want an upgrade but i do. Please help and provide suggestions for what i should do.... please....

What generation is your Pentium CPU? Also what motherboard are you using? You need a Z370 series motherboard for 8th gen

What is your motherboard's chipset? What is the exact model Pentium?

 

The 8700k will only work on z370 (officially) because Intel is stingy and wants you to buy a new motherboard (with intel chipset) whenever you upgrade Intel CPUs a new generation.

CPU: i7 4790k @ 4.7 GHz

GPU: XFX GTS RX580 4GB

Cooling: Corsair h100i

Mobo: Asus z97-A 

RAM: 4x8 GB 1600 MHz Corsair Vengence

PSU: Corsair HX850

Case: NZXT S340 Elite Tempered glass edition

Display: LG 29UM68-P

Keyboard: Roccat Ryos MK FX RGB

CPU's are not universally interchangeable, you need a motherboard with a compatible chip set to your CPU.  In this case, the Z370 chip set is required to run your new CPU.
