NEW PC DOESNT START

[ocloo]

Hi

so today i wanted to build my pc, this is my second time doing it. after plugging everything in, when i start checking of everything work, the pc would turn on for just some few seconds and then shut down. So after going around on the internet trying to found solution, i have tried a lot of things but nothing work.

 

I have unplug everything, when i unplug the cpu the lights on the motherboard turn on and stay on but there's no beep sound to be heard. No bios or something showing up on my monitor, the monitor even say no connection.

 

Specs

MSI B250 PC MATE

I5 8400

16gb ddr4 ram

 

does anyone know what the problem can be? and yes i installed the cpu correct. right now there is 1 ram in with no cpu, the mother light turn on but nothing appear on the screen. When i insert the cpu, then the problem come back.

You may have to update the BIOS on the motherboard. You'll need a 7th gen CPU to do so.

so i will have to buy a 7th gen cpu to see if it would work and then try to sell it? is there any other way?

Because the B250 Chipset is not designed to run natively with 8th gen Intel CPUs, you need to update your motherboard bios. To update your motherboard bios, you need to get the computer to boot. To get the computer to boot, you need a 7th gen CPU. Your best option here, in my opinion, would be to RMA your motherboard, and get one that supports 8th gen natively.

Hi

 

What does RMA means? and how do i know which motherboard natively support 8th gen cpu?

I don't believe that chipset is compatible with Coffee Lake CPUs even though they have the same amount of pins, you'd have to roll the Z370/H370/B360 or similar.

RMA stands for Return merchandise authorization. This just means returning the product to the company for a refund. For an 8th gen CPU, you need a motherboard based on the intel Z370, H370 or B360 chipsets.
