CPU and motherboard not working together for no reason?

[Mnicholas98]

Hello my i7-3770k and DZ77GA-70K are not working together, both parts have been tested in other components but these two will just not work together for some reason and I really need them to. The POST is halted at error code 12 which is "Early chipset register programming including graphics init" whatever that means.

Make sure that your board has its latest BIOS version. You said "both parts have been tested in other components but these two will just not work together for some reason". Have you tested this board with another i7 3770K CPU?

No I haven't tested it with another 3770k, but the board does have the latest bios

In what way did you test your CPU? The error you reporting here is saying that the GPU part inside your CPU package may be defective. Are you using an external PCIe GPU or are you still relying on the internal Intel GPU.
