Hi this is a long shot I know, but I have a rather old set up and was looking for a simple upgrade from a i3-530 to a four core CPU. I have an EVGA P55 Micro mobo.

I have tried both an i5-750 and a Xeon X3450, reset the CMOS and both do not post when installed nor make any beeps from the board.

Then I put back the i3 and all is fine again.

I have installed the latest BIOS which states that it will run either of the CPUs but alas not.

Any suggestions any one or do I have to throw in the towel? :(
