I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but I thought I'd check here first in case anyone can save me some time and money.
Basically I've bought the above motherboard along with a Intel Core i3-7100 3.90GHz (Kaby Lake), but it just doesn't boot, upon looking into it it's probably because the motherboard needs a BIOS update before the CPU will function correctly. Obviously catch 22: need it to boot to update the BIOS, but it won't boot until it's updated.
I don't wish to purchase another cpu just to do this, alternatively I may have to see if anyone in MM can lend me one for a refundable deposit.
Any other suggestions?? Brand new parts purchased last Thursday from OcUK so I hope it's not just faulty parts but tried it with literally nothing connected and still doesn't boot.
