This seems to indicate that the new CPU isn't compatible.

No no dont worry about that its very popular to upgrade 2570p to 30XX QM serires.. a lot kf ppl did it... so listen guys i just plug the "old" cpu and its also not working so i guess its a good news that theres other problem... did i had to do something before pkuging the new cpu?

Maybe a bios upgrade?

Did you apply any kind of thermal paste after installing the new CPU?
