I have an Inspiron 660 that won't post. As far as I know, the motherboard is dead. I bought a Dell Optiplex 7010 motherboard on eBay, but it won't post. I know the socket type is the same, but do I have to flash the bios in order to use an i5 3330?
How are there prebuilts of the 7010 with the 3330 listed on newegg then? The listing says it is a Q77 board, so...The 7010 uses a Q77 chipset that isn't compatible with the i5 3330. The inspiron used the B75 chipset. Flashing wont help in this regard.
