Hey guys,
So in a bit of a confusing pickle here, Recently built an older based P67 (LGA 1155) system consisting of the following -
Now, I know Xeons are not really meant to be in Desktop PCs but it should surely work, it was detected fine (in bios) before the update.
i thought id check the Motherboards bios see if it was a compatibility issue with Ram/CPU. And low and behold the bios was the VERY first version the board ever come with, there was like 10 bios revisions after that, So i updated to the very latest bios offered on Asus page for that motherboard and that said update was successful.
However, Now when i start the PC i either get absolutely noting on the screen OR if it does decide to show anything i get a "CPU overvoltage error" press F1 to go into BIOS..i press F1 and nothing happens its froze.
Has my board bricked?
It does have a socketed BIOS so i can easily swap this out but ideally don't want to if i don't have to.
The bios update was done within the bios also, Not in windows (i never seen windows boot lol)
