Upgrade from i5 4590 to i7 4790 not working

[greden]

Hi

I tried to upgrade a Asus G10AC from a i54590 to i7 4790. Remote the I5, install the i7 and fan. Clear Cmos. Try to boot, no booting. Just the fan turning. Remove the i7, replace the i5, everything works fine.
Update the Bios from 0801 to 1101. Try to reinstall the i7. No booting.
Can the i7 DOA?
Thanks
Asus G10AC-US010S
Motherboard Asus M51AC Intel Desktop Motherboard s115X, H87M-PRO/M51AC
Windows 8.1

The latest BIOS for the H87M-PRO is 2102 -- https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/H87MPRO/HelpDesk_Download/ The latest for the M51AC is over 2 years old. I don't know if you can use the BIOS download from the motherboard site or if you are stuck with 2 year old BIOS from the PC site.

Thanks for the info, but I upgrade with this BIOS G10AC BIOS 1101, which is given by Asus support.
Could it be enough or I have to upgrade for the specific motherboard?

I cannot update the BIOS for the motherboard. The updater utility says it is not the same format for the ROM.

Asus put a modified motherboard and it cannot be updated with a BIOS for the regular motherboard. I won't go with the update
