New build. BIOS cpu compability problem. How do i fix it?
Hi. So im helping a freind to build his computer and after many hours of trubleshooting i know the problem,
The cpu that he got is an 7700K FM2+ cpu
But the motherboard only supports FM2+ Cpu's if you have the F2 BIOS version.
But the stock on the mobo is F1 and i cant update the bios becouse 1: i dont know really how to flash a bios via a usb stick, And 2: i cant see anything becouse nothing shows up on the monitor.
Also no mouse or keyboard light up or give any sign of life.
What do i do? On gigabytes website they say you need to have a FM2 cpu to update the bios so it becomes compatible with FM2+
Why gigabyte are you doing this?
i've heard you can use the BIOS without a cpu but apperantly gigabyte doesent support it. Only ASUS does that i dont know. Does he have to change out the cpu or change motherboard to one thats already compatible with FM2+ `?
