Hi, I decided to upgrade to an i5 from an old Core2Duo, along with the necessary acquirement of new motherboard and DDR4 ram.
Specs
CPU: i5 7600k
Motherboard: Asus Z170M-Plus
DIMM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @ 2660 MHz
PSU: Corsair RM750x
Cooler: Cooler Master TX3 Evo
Right now I've breadboarded the system. With just CPU, cooler and motherboard I get 1 long beep and 2 short. System keeps itself on and fans run. I've read that the beeps mean missing RAM in ASUS mobos. So I've inserted the RAM (in various configurations) and that leads, again, to fans starting and system remaining on, but no beep is heard and there is no signal from computer or light on the wired keyboard. But: first time running with the RAM the system resets after a few seconds before powering up again. After that it doesn't restart, unless if I reset CMOS where it goes through that process once again.
Questions: Can I assume CPU/mobo works since POST w/o RAM signals that RAM is missing instead of CPU problem? Or do you think that there might be faulty DIMM slots or similar? Thanks in advance
