I NEED HELP PLEASE!! I just wanted to upgrade my i3 processor to an i7. I bought new hardware (motherboard, fan, etc) and now the computer is rebooting every 3 seconds. No screen is turning on, no lights on my keyboard, nothing. The only thing I can think of is that my processor needs to be replaced but I don’t think it should. I tried replacing ram, checking cmos, I tried basically everything online! PLEASE I NEED HELP

Answer:

Your processor might be incompatible with motherboard

Explanation:

One major thing to keep in mind while upgrading a PC hardware is comparability among hardware. If you are using incompatible hardware it can cause issues like this. There are websites available to let you check the compatibility of different components.

As you mentioned you upgraded your cpu and motherboard. Does your motherboard has the correct version of chipset to run new cpu. Do notice if there are any beep sounds when you power up your PC. If you don't hear beeps than your motherboard might be dead.
