Completely new build: (sorry for the long explanation)
I have an i7-4820K (Ivy Bridge) and GA-X79 UP4 mobo. I learned that the mobo has to be flashed the F4 bios and you must have a Sandy Bridge CPU to flash it. The CPU is approved for this mobo.
I have temporary use of an i7-3820 Sandy Bridge CPU. After updating the bios using both Q Flash and @BIOS 3.3, I still cannot get the i7-4820K to boot. Fans, PSU, LEDs start but cut off. This cycle repeats itself until I turn off the PSU. Updated Bios ID now reads 8A10AG03 version F4.
I went so far as to install a fresh Windows 7 64 Bit OS on a new 240GB SSD. I've installed all of the Intel drivers listed on Gigabyte's site as well as the various utilities. The system is completely functional with the i7-3820 including LAN and Internet support. As soon as I put the i7-4820K back in....NADA. This is a completely new build and everything works with the i7-3820 installed so hardware failure doesn't appear to be the issue (unless the i7-4820K CPU is bad). I'm also not sure how updated drivers help when the i7-4820K doesn't reach actual boot status.
I have touched very little in terms of BIOS changes other than boot order and fans. As a last step, I removed the CMOS battery this morning for about 5 minutes and reinstalled the i7-4820k thinking a setting was causing the issue. I've done all of my testing with an older video Quaddro FX1700 lately (which shouldn't matter).
I'm at my wits end. Gigabyte tech support was pretty good about keeping up with our email chain until this week. I ordered a second mobo last week thinking this one was bad before tech support enlightened me about the F4 update process. This is unopened and will be returned. I'm not sure what else to do other than buy another mobo but I'm concerned this will happen again and I really want this system up and running this week!!!!
