So i upgraded my old i5 2400 to a i5 3470. It litereally works with no problem when im using my i5 i just pull it out to sell it and bought a used 3470 on the same day. When i plugged it in i got 4 short beeps.
Asrock said it was system time failure and browsing on the net says to try reseat the ram. I tried everything even tried to borrow my friends brand new ram still nothing,

Do i need i bios update? Why does it beep for system time failure
 
Solution
does your motherboard support the new cpu? does it require a BIOS update to do so? the question is...what motherboard do you have?
