You can't use the Intel QX9775 on the Gigabyte G31M-ES2L motherboard.

You can use one of these:

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 (3.20GHz)
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 (3.00GHz)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 (3.00GHz)

Full list list of compatible processors is here: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=3485

Please not BIOS update may be required, as shown in the last column of the list.

even with the lga771 to 775 adapter.
is it because of the mobos compatibility or socket?
