Well, Just received the new Motherboard along with a Pentium G3258 Anniversary Edition, the idea being that I would have some fun pushing the CPU to the limit, then after about 3 months get a new quadcore, hence why I got a Z97 with a very budget CPU.
The problem is the thing won't start up, checked, double checked and tested everything, memory is fine, PSU is fine, CPU and Cooler re-seated 3 times etc etc. When I press the on button (Board has one as well as case, tried both) the system kind of powers up for a split second and then stops, lights all come on and fans start to spin. Where I have said I have checked the various components, I have tried them in my daughters FM2 setup and they work fine.
The only thing I can think of is that the motherboard Bios could be the release one as there are only 3 for this board on their site, the board only went retail late June or early July, the 2nd Bios listed at Biostar says it enhanced CPU compatibility, my guess is that as both the CPU and the board came out at similar times I have the release Bios, could anyone who has ever had a similar issue with CPU compatibility confirm or otherwise that the symptoms above of a split second power on followed by a halt is typical of a lack of compatibility please, I have never had it happen before thankfully!
If this is the case I will either talk the retailer into taking it back and flashing it or if needs be I will buy a cheap Celeron Socket 1150 that has been around for ages and flash the Bios before selling the Celeron on fleabay.
Thanks!
