    Hi guys I’ve just upgraded my pc with a new motherboard ,cpu and psu

    Corsair RM850 watt gold

    And have set everything up only to find that when ever I boot up the pc it powers on but no bios or boot comes up and the cpu light on the motherboard is red! ,

    I’ve tried reinstalling the cpu ,takin out all but 1 of the ram sticks ,tried removing the gpu tried to use the flash bios but to no avail … same issue red light, fans and motherboard seem to power up correctly and as far as I’m aware everything is compatible and plugged in correctly , tried removing the cmos battery etc.. nothing

    Rest of my specs are

    Gpu - msi 2080 super ventus 8gb
    Ram - corsair lpx vengeance 16gb x 4 ( only 1 installed out mo ,have tried with all 4 )
    Samsung ssd - 500gb as boot device
    Samsung ssd - 2tb
    Seagate hdd 2tb
    Case is the corsair obsidian 500d with fan and rgb controllers

    Any help would be very appreciated ,really not sure what to do …

    Hello

    Did you install the chipset drivers for the new mobo?

          I would be taking everything apart and setting it up on the floor or kitchen table on a piece of cardboard.

          for now, we just want the thing to boot into BIOS, so only assemble the mobo, CPU, PSU, one RAM, and the monitor straight into the mobo port.
          forget USB devices, storage drives and DVD unit. doesn’t matter if it beeps with errors during bootup - that will actually be a successful outcome at this stage.

          if that doesn’t work, something is not compatible.
          if the mobo needs a firmware upgrade in case the CPU is not in its list, you’ll still need to take it back to the retailer for them to do that.
          either way, I’m thinking a trip back will be needed!
