New CPU and PC does not BOOT

[pawlaks93]

Hello there people, i will get straight to the point.

I have a GIGABYTE GA-880GM-UD2H (rev 1.3) motherboard runing with Amd Athlon II x2 3.2ghz processor and 4gb of G skill memory all working fine till i bought new CPU which is FX-4130, as i checked the cpu compability with the motherboard it cleary said(on gigabytes website) that this cpu is compatible, so time for some fun, changed the cpu tried to boot pc turns on and nothing happens no signal going to monitor no beeps, got a bit worried at this point so i thought it might be the BIOS beening outdated so i updated to F8 and still nothing happens i am sure its not the others compoments fault because if i put the old cpu it works perfectly fine. i was going to call some kind of support tomorrow but im to desperate BF4 is waiting for me any ideas what might be the cause ? i thought it might be the faulty cpu? So guy and girls what do you recon? @edit i have tried restarting CMOS by taking the battery out.

Revision 1.5 is compatible because it's socket AM3+
Revision 1.3 isn't compatible because it's socket AM3

Am I right in thinking you can use a AM3 in a AM3+ socket though?
