Your CPU is not compatible with your motherboard. It is from a previous LGA1151 generation and your new motherboard chipset does not support this CPU.
Your Intel i5-7400 processor is a Kaby Lake processor which is not compatible with the 300 series chipset on your motherboard. You will need an LGA1151 Revision 2 CPU, something from the Coffee Lake range. An equivalent CPU would be either an i3-8100 or an i5-8400. Either of these would be an improvement over what you currently have (and would actually work).
See this chart from the Wikipedia Article on LGA1151 processors:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1151
You can also verify this by checking the CPU Support page listed on your motherboard manufacturers website:

(Unfortunately the table is too large to screenshot, however the minimum currently supported i series CPU is the i3-8100t)
