[k1ng_alex]

I just replaced my cpu today only to find my system still does not post.

All my fans spin all my lights are on ,ect .

The question is are the steps to test if your psu is dead note i do not have an extra one or a multimeter 

[spwath]

Its not dead if lights and fans work

[Vercii]

Sounds like a cpu problem

If your PSU is dead nothing will turn on.

Pretty sure its a CPU problem.

Of course it isn't going to post with no RAM at all.    Follow the steps outlined here to diagnose your issue - http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/42440-readme-how-to-respond-to-a-no-post-or-no-power-up-situation/

if you really wanna test it, take out the 24 pin connector, find the green wire, and connect it with a paper clip to a black wire, any black wire should work, then if the PSU fan comes on, your PSU is not dead, its something else.

I know a compute should spit out some sort of beep even without ram.

ive checked all my connectors the issue is no beep of any kind, yes i tried jumping the BIOS

Is the CPU power cable plugged in tight?

[k1ng_alex]

Yup i even took it out and put it back to test

[Matt420740]

Read through the steps in the link I sent you.   Its stickied to the top of the troubleshooting forum for a reason, it will help you weed out the faulty component.

[k1ng_alex]

I went through all the steps still nothing.

assuming my bios does not support my new cpu how do i flash it if it wont even boot

Don't assume, go to the manufacturers website and find out.   And if that is the case, you'll need a compatible CPU to update the BIOS.

I checked the website and beside the cpu i have is a download list ,

My old cpu has a full broken pin on it it fell off when i tried to fix it

[Matt420740]

What MB do you have?

[k1ng_alex]

msi 870-g45 

ms-7599VER:2.1

[Matt420740]

You can find a CPU that will work in that socket for under $10 on e-bay or craigslist.   Slow but good enough to get you booted and the BIOS updated

im unsure if it really is the cpu though?

After reading through your other thread so am I.  Powering up the MB with no CPU installed probably wasn't the best idea.  

 

You've already gotten another CPU, so I think if I was in your situation I'd start looking for a board.

 After catching up on your thread I would agree with @Matt420740 that your Mobo is most likely dead.

[k1ng_alex]

Thanks guy, ill start looking for new a new mobo

There should be a little black plastic thing that came with your PSU. If there is, connect it to your 24 pin motherboard cable and leave it there for about 5 minutes. If the fan spins and it doesn't cut out then your PSU is not dead
