Hi guys,

I have got a bit of a problem. I had an intel haswell pentium, which I have just swapped for an i5 4690k but I am getting a fully black screen.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Kalinco

Electro Static Discharge, that is quite a conclusion to jump to. Is there enough power going to the PC?

put your old pentium back in

 

see if it boots

 

if it does i would suggest installing the latest bios then try the i5 again

 

if it doesnt boot with the old pentium you may have damaged pins.

You need a BIOS update. If the H81 chipset will work at all

 

 

From:-

http://thepcenthusiast.com/list-of-8-series-motherboards-compatible-with-intel-devils-canyon/

 

"It looks like Intel doesn’t intend the Devil’s Canyon to be used in older 8 series motherboards. If you are an owner of an 8 series motherboard and plan to upgrade to a Devil’s Canyon using your current motherboard, I strongly recommend that you ask your motherboard manufacturer first to see if your motherboard can really support Devil’s Canyon."

Did you reset the CMOS? Just put a jumper on the two CMOS pins for a couple of seconds, pull the jumper off, and then try again with the 4690k.

 

EDIT: I forgot some boards also will have three pins and you need to move the jumper between them. Look for clearing the CMOS in your motherboard's manual.

Why the i5 over the FX-8350?
