first boot, I see a C on mobo and power going to all fans, leds, and graphics card  Issue is i have no display and so i cant see the bios. I did the flash drive and reset and allowed the mobo to count down from 4 and i seem to have accomplished nothing. Any help would be great!

    POST Code "C" is a CPU Error and indicates an issue with the CPU. This can be caused by a defective CPU, out of spec Power Supply, Bent CPU socket pins, CPU incompatible with BIOS version or defective Motherboard.

    An i7-7740X is not on the EVGA CPU and Memory Support list for an X299 Micro ATX 2 motherboard..You could Contact EVGA about it to be sure.
     
    Did it ever work or is this the first time you tried the CPU?

    Contact EVGA..Sorry to say, but I don't think that CPU is gonna be compatible with that mobo..Nothing in the BIOS Updates notes mention anything about adding compatibilty..You should get a CPU that's on the EVGA compatibilty list..Return the i7-7740X if (hopefully) possible if it's not compatible.

    Micro 2 does not support KBL-X CPU so 7740X and 7640X will not work in it.  Only Skylake-X and Cascade Lake-X are supported.
     
    Information from spec sheet here: https://www.evga.com/prod../pdf/121-SX-E296-KR.pdf
