So i was playing a casual game of PUBG when my computer made a click sound and the screen froze had to force power off and when i tried to turn on again it would not post (nothing on screen but fans spinning) ok so i thought it was my cpu so i bought a i7 8700k (had a 6700k) reinstalled and still didn't work... then i thought it could be the ram so i bought new ram and once again didn't work so at this point the only thing that isn't brand new is the motherboard (literally 2 months old) but i also tried with my old motherboard which when i last used was working and still nothing when i try no fans spin nothing posts only thing that happens is leds on the board light up, so literally everything really should be working don't know if this is my fault for wiring it wrong or maybe even putting the power button cable in the wrong place (i've triple checked this) im not completely new to pcs and have built ones before but i've never had everything seem right but it just not work. can anyone help me out? if i can't fix it soon il try a new motherboard if that doesn't work i'll just buy have to buy an xbox one Kappa

If you have a z170 or z270 motherboard, the 8700k won't work in it (it only works with the z370 chipset).
