I've bought a i7 3770 and installed it but it meet me with a black screen and white dashes on screen on the middle after the Windows Startup

Reinserted my old CPU (i5-2320) and it works again. Research and tried updating my bios but it said I have the latest version of bios

Do you know for a fact that this BIOS supported Ivy Bridge CPUs? I think this is a prebuilt -- you don't actually provide any information about your PC outside of the CPU -- and quite frequently, prebuilts don't actually support CPUs past the initially compatible ones, even if they theoretically could work on the socket.

My bad didn't know about the ivy bridge and sandy bridge stuffs
so my best bet is the i7-2700k with the same socket and supports sandy bridge?

It might be, or the CPU could be defective. I have no idea what motherboard you actually have beyond an educated guess it's an HP, so as poor as HP documentation is, it's hard to venture a guess beyond this.

Yes its an HP board and about the CPU had it tested but only to the point in BIOS to verify that it is an i7-3770

please provide exactly what motherboard you are using? So we can check which cpu's are compatible.
it's hard to find a compatible cpu without this info. It's better not to upgrade, as it would potentially just waste money.

however, if we are going to gamble.. for Sandy Bridge.. I suggest the i7-2600k
upgraded my i3-2120 to a 2600k. Never had problems. Did not even need to update BIOS.
have been playing Playstation 4 games for 3 years now with it. Partnered with a 1050ti, it could handle medium settings on most games, and even high settings on some at 1080p.

When you download the BIOS update or any in the package, do you see indication *when* the BIOS was released? It might give us a clue.

However, using another Sandy Bridge is likely to be the easiest result. Even if the Ivy Bridge could theoretically work, it was only a very small incremental gain.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/265770043336 It's this board exactly
 
Yup, there's always a risk involved with a BIOS update -- so if you're not willing to take a small amount of risk, I'd just get a Sandy Bridge -- but a BIOS update would help determine whether the 3770 you picked up is working properly or not.
 
in the span of my stay here on the forum, this is pretty much the third or fourth thread I've seen trying to make a 3770 work on their pc that had a Sandy bridge before. So far, I have not seen one that worked. If it does not work, then it does not work. You could brick something if you try too hard.

have you seen the 3770 working on a pc before you purchased it?

I would just flip the 3770 and buy a 2600 as already said they run just about the same speed.

Ya you have to wait for it to be shipped but better than a bios brick and all is lost. Not saying bios updates are bad just there is that chance. So $30.00 bucks and your good to go and or free after you flip the 3770.
