LoginOkay, so everything went well up until the test run. Plugged it all in, installed the processor, turned it on and all I got was cpu cycle lights, a fan that attempted to spin (but didn't) and then no POST screen. After 10 seconds or so, it reboots and does the same thing. After some research, for some reason this particular model has issues with the processor that I chose Intel Celeron Ivy G1610 LGA1155.
This is my first time coming across a processor that matches the board in every way (IVY, Dual Core, LGA1155, Intel Celeron) yet doesn't work with the bios installed on the board.
So I contacted Newegg and they agreed to take the processor back for a full refund and I will purchase a cpu that I KNOW is on the supported cpu list. It's a hell of a lot better than removing the board, putting it in a box... and waiting for a new board.
Of course there is the VERY small chance that the board is bad -- wouldn't that suck ass?? lol
