Boot Cycle

[notlinus]

Hey, so I bought an i5 7500 and a gigabyte h110m-h motherboard and it seems to be on a boot cycle powering off before the bios can come up and then re-powering on its own. I talked to the manufacturer and they said it's because the motherboard isn't fully compatible with the latest gen of cpus(not sure what that means). 

 

Is there a way to fix it without sending it back?

 

Thanks in advance

Not without a skylake processor. 100 series chipsets --> skylake (+ kabylake with bios update). 200 series chipsets --> skylake + kabylake

The h110 mobos require a BIOS update before they become compatible with Kaby Lake CPUs.

 

Do you have a Skylake CPU you can install to update the BIOS? You can even use a Celeron to do this. Just gotta boot up and grab the new BIOS from Gigabyte, then flash it.
