You might have to update your BIOS to support this CPU .... but be very careful when updating your BIOS follow the instructions to the T.

But have a looky here pal

which one do i download

The latest version should have all the previous fixes included, but if you do the live update (scroll down to the bottom of the page) it should do everything for you

i believe i have updated the bios and i tried installing my i7 chip and the same thing happens, monitor doesnt come on keyboard and mouse but when i put my i3 back in everything works fine....do i need to change anything in the BIOS

What you BIOS version?
1.11 ?
1.10 ?
1.9 ?

In the BIOS, did you have any overclocking timings set on the previous processor?
If so, load the defaults.
That could be what's keeping the computer with the new processor from starting.

i went to BIOS it said 1.4 and i dont believe i did any overclocking to this cpu

i did a live update for the bios when ever it gets done downloading it flashes the bios ..it says...error loading driver press anykey then the pc restarts
