It will get to startup but afterwards will have a black screen with white lines

I saw an ASROCK board the c216 WS that says it's compatible with the i7-3770 but the HP-1790 C216 in the intel website the i7-3770 is not listed but I've heard that HP documentation is bad so I did some more research bios is compatible with the i7-3770 and everything seems fine so am I missing something or just the i7-3770 I got is faulty ?
 
so it is working or not working?
is depend on if HP bios support it or not

what the hp pc model?
