Hi Everyone,
I'm at my wits end here and thought I could come onto this forum for some help. I made a server on Windows 10 with a Core i3 4130T. I noticed that the workload is becoming too much for the CPU, so I swapped it out with a Core i7 4790k. With every piece of hardware working BEFORE the upgrade, the computer now no longer POSTs. Putting the old CPU back works again.
Here's the specs:
CPU: Intel Core i3 4130T (Old), Intel Core i7 4790k (New)
GPU: MSI radeon r7 370 2gb
MOBO: ASUS h81m-e
RAM: 1x Corsair Value Select 4 GB 1333 MHz
PSU: Seasonic SS-400FL2 Platinum Fanless 400W
Troubleshooting
Additional Information:

Troubleshooting
- I have updated the BIOs to its latest version by putting my old CPU back in, downloading the latest version and installing it onto my mobo.
- The latest BIOs version supports my new CPU.
- I have checked the compatibility of the mobo and CPU. They are compatible.
- I've reseated the RAM and also used the second slot.
- I can confirm my core i7 works on another computer.
Additional Information:
- I do not suspect 400W Power supply to be the issue because I'm not running the server very hard, but it could be a possibility. If it was because of the PSU, shouldn't it still POST?
