I just tried replacing my i5 with an i7, and now my computer will not turn on. I made sure to reconnect everything in my motherboard to what I assumed to be the correct spots, and made sure the cpu was correctly placed in the socket. My motherboard’s LEDs turn on but the computer does not attempt to start. I checked the power supply and it’s all connected, and even removed my gpu and reinstalled it. I would appreciate if anyone had advice or a way to help! Thank you!
