first pc boot

[markmaen]

I just got the msi csm-b75ma-p45 motherboard and the core i3 3220 my pc doesn't boot after I build it. am the cpu socket its written lga115x and the i3 3220 requires a lga 1155 socket could this be the reason I can't boot

seems there both 1155 and should be good .. at msi I did not see any bios info or a cpu support list for it so its a guess job on that issue msi seems to do a real poor job on this in where you don't know if the chip you got is supported with the bios that shipped on the board at least I cant find it unless theres just one bios ever for it that covers all 1155 cpus ??

Just for good measure, check the socket closely for a bent pin. Just a thought, but it can easily prevent the cpu from booting. Sometimes a bent pin is just slightly out of place and it can prevent the boot. Best of luck.

The pins seem alright. The fans are running and the motherboard beeps but totally no signal to my monitor
