ill try to keep this short. about a month ago i bought an i7 3770 for my optiplex 3010 which had an i5 3470 at the time. i paired the i5 with a 1050 ti and 12 gb of ddr3 ram. i put the i7 3770 in my pc, i couldnt get it to post with any graphics cards but it did post with integrated. when i looked further into it it just didnt add up, my hypothesis was, my motherboard only has pci e 2.0 which runs my 1050 ti perfectly fine. i dont know if this is preventing it from posting with the i7. a few minutes ago i realised im on leagacy and not uefi, could that possibly be the reason it didnt post? sorry if its confusing
