[SOLVED] Need help asap

[Zencxal]

So I just bought a new lga1151 motherboard and I was installing it and I have everything plugged in and ready to go except I don’t know where the case power cable goes so I can turn it on. I don’t know if I plugged something in wrong or if it’s because I bent a pin for a different cable then fixed it. I have a picture please help me

The only way the bios can be updated is with an older cpu compatable with the motherboard

What if I put my fx series mobo back in and the download it then put it back in

Nope. That won't work at all.

 

[COLGeek]

Wait can I do it via usb?

Yes, but with a compatible CPU already installed (like an 8th gen Intel CPU).

Where can I take it to fix it or what is the cheapest lga1151 cpu

Today? Likely no where. A local PC shop in your area should be able to assist for a nominal fee.

I would say NO. A local PC shop. Where on the planet do you reside?

Where would that be?

What about a Micro Center?

You can return the motherboard and buy a B365, which is actually designed for 9th gen.

Or you can buy a cheap Celeron to upgrade bios, then return it.

My inner "Boy Scout" is not okay with this course of action. Let your conscience be your guide.

I found one near us. But might as well buy a Celeron and do it that way. Thanks guys

So a new thing happened. So at the beginning of the year i called msi support and i got it to boot, but i have to create a system error then turn it off, fix the error then turn it back on and spam F11 to select a boot drive and then it boots, so can i download the bios and update it now without that older cpu?

You can try. Good luck.
