I recently upgraded my CPU from an i5-12400f to an i7-14700k, but now when I try to boot it up, nothing shows on the monitor, and after about 5-15 seconds, the system turns off. A friend suggested that I might need to update my BIOS, but I'm not exactly sure how to go about that. Can anyone here guide me through the process?

I can see why you'd think it might be a PSU issue, but it’s likely the BIOS holding things back. Make sure you check out your motherboard's support page for any necessary updates. Keep us posted on how it goes!
To update your BIOS, you'll want to go to your motherboard manufacturer's website, find the latest BIOS version available, and follow their update instructions carefully. It's pretty essential after a CPU upgrade, especially if your new CPU isn't fully supported by your current BIOS version.
Definitely check on updating your BIOS. First, identify your motherboard model, then head to the manufacturer's site. You'll usually find a manual there that provides detailed steps on how to perform the update!
