z77-gd65 + i2550k won't post.

can i suggest take it off the antistatic bag as the outside of the bag is not antistatic put it an empty box instead as you might be shorting the board

Did that.

You wouldn't be able to test with an Ivy CPU?

Stupid thought, but maybe the BIOS needs to be updated for backwards compatibility?

No I wouldn't. It's listed as compatible on the MSI website. Would be very strange for it not to be. Even if it wasn't it should probably post or show an error message on the LED screen.
