Orange Led / CPU Upgrade

[Bozz 💀]

I just received my i7 14700K
I put it in but I get an Orange light..
When I put back my previous CPU it works normal.

I tried to remove the Motherboard Battery for 5 minutes, same issue.
Updated BIOS to last version, same issue.

Is the new CPU Damaged ?

The motherboard is an ASUS z690.

what board exactly?
look up its manual to see what it means

Try with only 1 RAM stick you may find that it has something to do with DIMM and BIOS settings.

ASUS - TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS D4 - (90MB18U0-M0EAY0)
Is it this ?
it's LGA 1700 and listed as 14th compatible

could be. when I first received my 7800x3d it was bricked out of the box. happens. that's the good part about hardware. if it didn't fail during the first two weeks then you are good.

Make sure the new CPU has the correct RAM speed compatibility.

use the jumper to reset to defaults, or in bios reset to defaults then save/exit before swapping the cpu

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Update bios with old cpu.
Once done, re enter bios and reset bios back to all defaults. Save and exit. Spam F8 key to stop OS from loading up. Shutdown PC, swap cpus

You can try 2 things:
1) Turn off Fast Boot in Bios, that skips checks of HW for Compatibility.
2) Update Bios to accommodate newer HW. Check specifics before doing this.

[Iron Knights]

Remove CMOS battery and turn the PC on, wait for post, then shut down. This is the proper way to do the battery reset. On reboot go to Bios & set the clock and optimize all in advanced settings.

no that is not
rtfm
boot to bios, and use bios to reset to defaults, or use the jumper
powering without the battery can corrupt bios setting, which could force it to reset if it notices that the settings are not correct, or can cause bigger problems if it does not

Modern boards won't even boot without a working charged battery

A RAM stick was dead, then I got the "Unable to access boot device" blue screen error impossible to fix.
I sent the computer in a store and they figured out there was a WINDOWS update happeining right when I closed the computer to change the CPU so it broke the Windows copy... They managed to repair and now everything works fine, I just have to buy a new ram stick ^^

Highly unlikely that a windows update would cause such a problem and if it did the fix can be done in CMD. Try cleaning the RAM stick with a toothbrush in my experience 70% of the time these things fail is dust related issues such as an unseeable hair.
