It won’t put anything to my display so I don’t know what it’s running

z170 was skylake (6th gen) and required a BIOS update to support kabylake (7th gen) CPUs. 

 

Z270 was native 7th gen support.

 

you may need to find an older 6th generation cpu to update it, if it doesn't have some sort of bios flashback feature.

It's most likely the case. 7th gen processors came along with 2xx chipsets, your older Z170 board would need a BIOS update to work with them.

Point is that maybe it's the RAM or CPU that have an issue and the motherboard was fine.

No it wasn’t definitely the motherboard it wouldn’t detect any of my drives on the right settings and when it was on legacy I couldn’t install window onto the ssd for some reason
