Hi, im building my first desktop and i choose the Intel core i5 3550k with a Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H, so the question is: ¿that MOBO will support Ivy Bridge out of the box?

I just built a new computer, I turned it on for the first time but it only powered on for 3 seconds and would cycle reboot repeating over again. The first thing I checked for was the memory so I took one of my 4GB memory sticks out of the Dimm 1 slot and it booted up. After booting, I set all...
