What happens if mobo bios doesn't support a cpu?

Would it post?

Depends on how the BIOS, some will post and display unknown cpu, then stall, others will just do ah heck all.

some will just not start, some will post and error with unknown cpu, some will boot with lower default cpu clocks as an unrecognised cpu.

Can the PC turn on, but won't post? I'm trying to figure out a problem I have. My mobo bios doesn't support my cpu.
