PC wouldn't post...

I have bought an Intel Kabylake Pentium G4560, G.skill Ripjaw 8 GB 1866 MHz ram, and an Asus B150 Pro Gaming D3 motherboard. I removed the drivers for the old parts replaced my old processor, ram, and motherboard. Although once I boot it up, it wouldn't post and show anything on the monitor like a new system. I looked at the diagnostic lights whenever I boot it up, and the CPU and ram led lights up. Can someone help me determine the problem?

I was not able to boot it up and update BIOS.

The ram is DDR3.

 

Does the motherboard support DDR3?

Sounds like you may need to use the old CPU long enough to update the bios to support Kaby Lake.

Okay. The CPU part is solved, but what about the ram? I heard that the Pentium processor can support ddr3, but I don't know if it works.

I'm not entirely sure.  https://ark.intel.com/products/97143/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G4560-3M-Cache-3_50-GHz

Says "DDR4-2133/2400, DDR3L-1333/1600 @ 1.35V", not sure if that includes normal DDR3 or not.  Try it and find out, perhaps?
