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

聽

Z270 was native 7th gen support.

聽

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,聽your older Z170 board would need a BIOS update to work with them.

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