I recently purchased an i7-2600k processor off of eBay. I installed it into my machine, Dell Optiplex 790 which is running a dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 10 and has a i3 processor in it. No bios appears at all after changing out cpus but after a while Ubuntu will appear and when I check the details it shows the processor and it all works fine.
How do I make the BIOS appear and be able to boot into Windows as well? Basically no bios appears unless it is with the i3 chip inside.
I have upgraded the BIOS from A13 to A22 and reset the CMOS battery as well. But nothing changes. Whenever I put back the old i3 processor, everything works fine.
From my understanding and testing it does not seem to be a bad motherboard or even a bad cpu; (I could be wrong)
my guess is something to do with the dual boot perhaps or still a bios issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated; i've never upgraded a CPU before so im a bit of a noob in this area.
