I have a h170-gaming 3(rev 1.1) motherboard and i5-7600k and gigabyte started supporting kabylake at f20 which this board has but I'm getting five beeps which means cpu error and it will turn on play five beeps and turn off turn back on do the same thing over and over again. It's not a ram error or any thing like that and the 24-pin connector and the connector for the cpu are all in and have been reseated multiple times. Any suggestions? 

 

Note:This is a brand new build and has never gone to bios before been stick with the cpu error.

Not a 100% sure, but... How hard did you have to press? Doesn't a mobo require an 4 or 4+4 pin? Aren't those 6+2 connectors intended for, for example, a GPU?

Yeah I meant a 4+4 its not a gpu connector it's a semi modular so it had the 24-pin and cpu connector connected when it arrived.

Have you tried clearing the CMOS?

 

I mean, it's worth a try.

 

I might test the CPU Power connector with a multi-meter as well, just to ensure it's getting the power it's supposed to.

I cleared the cmos but I'll try with a multi meter

So I tried with a celeron g3900 to get to bios but it's still doing the same. Any thing you would suggest?
