You can't use the Intel QX9775 on the Gigabyte G31M-ES2L motherboard.

You can use one of these:

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 (3.20GHz)
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 (3.00GHz)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 (3.00GHz)

Full list list of compatible processors is here: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=3485

Please not BIOS update may be required, as shown in the last column of the list.
