A new CPU arrived today on the mail for my old dusty game PC.

 

MOBO: MSI H110M ECO

CPU: G4400 (Old, TDP = 54W), I3 9100F (New, TDP = 65W) I checked and it should be compatible with the MOBO.

 

After installing, my PC wont show any screen, well its a known problem, a outdated bios that cant recognize the new CPU, so after installing a BIOS update everything went flawless.

And now i'm so confused. After updating my bios with my old CPU i put the new CPU in and it just starts for 1 second and then turns off.

 

Meanwhile if i put my old CPU back everything works fine.

 

Problem: With the new CPU the PC turns on for 1 second and then turns off. While it works fine with the old CPU

Causes: Power? CPU broken?

 

So is the new CPU broken? Does it need more power? (Unlikely because the TDP WATT difference is minimal but my powersupply is only 350 watts.)

9th gen cpus are not compatible with a 100- or 200-series chipset. You need a 300-series chipset like H310, B360, Z390 etc.
