Why won’t my PC post after upgrading to an i7 6700?

I recently upgraded my CPU from an i5 6400 to an i7 6700, and now my PC isn't posting. All the fans are running and the GPU lights up, but I get a black screen, and my mouse and keyboard aren't working at all. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

It sounds like you might need to reset the BIOS. When you swapped the CPUs, it can sometimes mess with the settings. Try that first and see if it helps!

I had the i5 6400 running fine for years, so I'm wondering if it has something to do with the new i7. Thanks for the tip!
