You need BIOS version F11 (or newer) installed on that motherboard BEFORE the 9400F will work in it.

Also, make sure to connect your display to the GPU and not one of the motherboard video ports.

gigabyte H310m s2h - There is no 2.0 model

There is either 1.0 or 1.1. The revision number is printed on the corner of the PCB (Printed Circuit Board).

You would likely need a CPU that works with early BIOS revision. Depending on which motherboard you have, either F12 or FK or newer needs to be flashed for the 9400F.

Intel Celeron G4900 sells for about $45 new, $32 used.
