I recently purchased an i7 3770k to replace my i5 2500k. I'm using an Asus P8P67 Pro motherboard so I updated the bios to the latest version so the i7 would be compatible.
Then I put the i7 in the motherboard and turned it on, I got into windows and ran a benchmark and everything seemed fine.
The problems started when I restarted the computer and tried getting into the bios, it just kept freezing in the bios and anytime I tried to get to windows.
It either just froze as soon as it was turned on and the boot led on the motherboard lit up or sometimes when I turned it on the gpu led lit up and there's no picture on my screen.
I then put my i5 back in to see if there was a problem with any of the other components but it works 100%
I've put the i7 back in it now and I don't get any picture on my screen and the gpu light on the motherboard lights up.
I've tried using only one ram stick in different slots and setting it up on a breadboard but nothing works. I'm at a loss as to how it worked the very first time and now isn't working at all now.
System specs:
Corsair 750w psu
8GB corsair ram
Asus p8p67 pro
Gigabyte 7970
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
