So, as the title suggests, I'm having compatibility issues with my motherboard, let me explain. I recently bought an MSI H110M PRO-D along side a Kaby Lake G4560 for my new build. I knew from the beginning that I was going to have to update the BIOS to support Kaby Lake, but I thought I could do that very easily(booting into BIOS and upgrading), like any other BIOS update, but the thing is, I can't. My monitor gives me no signal when trying to boot off of it(No, the monitor is not dead, I'm using it right now to type this). This means that I have to get a Skylake chip to upgrade the BIOS so that the computer can function normally, but I have no friends etc that has a Skylake CPU. So, what should I do? I have contacted the only MSI partner in Sweden, and they said that they only fix prebuilt computers. I should be able to send it in to MSI, but I want to see if there are any other faster options available. Thanks.
