I have this new motherboard (bought it 2 years ago) and finally got around to building it for vmware ESXi. The problem is it wont POST, no video out from onboard VGA. Asus Tech support says my CPU Xeon E5-2630 V2 is not supported by the bios that came with the motherboard and that I would need to upgrade the BIOS in order for the CPU to work. So, I am stuck, nothing i can do without using an older V1 version CPU that should be supported by the current BIOS. Any thoughts? Anything I haven't thought of? Do I need to buy another Motherboard? If so, what motherboard will support the E5-2630V2 CPU and DDR3 1600 ECC UDIMM memory that I just bought?
