No post, most likely because CPU not supported by shipped BIOS version
Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my post.
I am having a small problem with my new build not POSTing. I have done a lot of things to try and resolve this. I have reseated RAM, unplugged and tested non-essential components, cleared the CMOS RAM, but nothing has worked. While researching the problem, I found that the problem might be that my CPU isnt supported by my motherboard BIOS version. I made sure that my CPU was on my motherboards support list before I bought them, but I didn't think it owuld be a BIOS issue.
So, I was wondering, is there any way to tell what BIOS version my motherboard shipped with?
If it turns out that it this is the issue, Can I flash the BIOS without booting? If not do I need to buy another processor that is compatible and flash the BIOS with that?
My system specs are;
AMD FX-8320 Vishera FD8320FRW8KHKThank you for reading my post and thank you in advance for any advice you give.
