[fanster031]

Hi, today I bougt i5 3470 . When I turned on,it was working for 5 secs,and after that it turned off...MSI H61M-P20 was working good with i3 3220,but I haven't this processor now. BIOS is not updated and it's maybe problem... I wanna buy G840 for little money, just to update BIOS... If you have any solution, please help

I have the same motherboard as you, but I have an i5 3570K working fine on it.

You updated BIOS?

I think so, but I'm not sure right now. If I remember correctly I tried updating but I couldn't so I left it as is.

Actually I think my MB is a different model, I think it's an MSI h61m-p20/w8 which is a model made specifically for Windows 8, hence the 'W8' at the end.

Take a look at this Wikipedia Ivy Bridge page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_Bridge_(microarchitecture)

According with that, yes, your mobo supports Ivy Bridge, which is my i5 3570k's Socket(LGA 1155).
