did you or does that board have a bios update for use of the latest 7 series CPU's ???

if that chip needs bios 9 to support it and has bios say 4 on it the cpu may not work at all .. 100 series did not support 7 series chips with out a bios update applied first


that's my guess

your board shows you need at least bios 3016 to support that chip

may need to remove it to check if you did not get any bent pins

Reseat your CMOS. Than try to upgrade your BIOS.
