i know that i need new bios how can i do that when i cant even get to them the comuter shows nothing on the display

get the cheapest skylake celeron you can find and flash the bios with it. Why did you bought an Z170 and an Non-K kabylake chip in the first place?

No, you need an skylake CPU :)  Just get the cheapest Skylake Celeron. and flash the bios with that. It will work and then you can switch back to the I5
