DRAM led, no display.

[SpadedAce]

So I purchased a new mobo for my rig. I put everything in the case and made sure everything was in the correct spot and was plugged in correctly. When i turn on the computer I have no display, and the DRAM led turns on, after a few seconds the PC shuts off for 5 seconds then reboots, it goes through this cycle twice and the third time it stays running, and the DRAM led is off. Yet I still have no display, no POST, or any response from the computer at all besides the computer running and fans. I have tried putting the jumper on and resetting the BIOS to default, I tried taking out the CMOS battery and waiting, reseating plugs and the GPU, just about everything. 

Build:

i5 6600k

AMD Rx570

Corsair h70 cooler

Corsair vengeance LPX 2x8gb 2.4GHz

The Z390 chipset does not support the 6600k

It only supports 8 & 9 gen CPUs. Because the socket pin-outs are different, supposedly for power.

Hm, I read the specs and asked around people said it did support it, otherwise I can return the mobo.

what he said is correct..intel chipset doesn't support all cpu even the same socket looks the same...every or every 2 generation is supported by 1 chipset...you can just check the compatibility list before buying...=x

Well, without breaking the bank what board should I get? This is my first build as well, so i can still return the MSI one i have currently.

msi z270 gaming plus?

or any other z270,z170,b250 board...since 6600k is unlocked better go with z boards...=x

[SpadedAce]

Thanks ill look into it, any others? It doesn't have to be an MSI im open to almost any that will work nicely.

You should probably only really use Z170 with Skylake.
