5 beeps on new motherboard

[Fancy Knight]

I bought an FX-8350, and an MSI 970A SLI Krait but whenever it gets to POST I hear 5 beeps, which I've heard is a CPU problem. I tested the 8350 with my old motherboard, Biostar TA970, and it works fine. Did I get a bad motherboard or is my cpu just not compatible with it?

You should read the motherboard manual. The five beeps are definitely an error code but until you read for yourself you won't really know. Start from there.

Even if the cpu is fine the problem could be power related.

Also good practice: post your system.

Since the cpu fits the socket you are fine there. The fact that the mobo beeps show some activity is a good thing.

I would take a look in the manual to find about the beep codes. Also i would install only one stick of memory (preferably the old ones that you know that are in working order)

If it is cpu related i would just try the 6300 in it and if that doesn't change anything i would return it.
