No boot or post

So I've recently upgraded my Core i3 2120 with a Xeon E3-1220 v2, and I'm getting no post or boot. I've tried several different GPUs and still no ball. My mobo beeps as it usually does when it working, so idk what's up

Look into beep codes and identify your beep code pattern. They can, at times, help with troubleshooting.

is your motherboard's bios up tp date? thoe V2 CPU's usually need a bios update to work on older boards.

Where'd I go to update my bios? Intel website says the downloads are unavailable since November 2019

according to this PDF from Intel -> https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/boardsandkits/desktop-boards/DQ67OW.pdf

 

your V2 CPU is not supported on that motherboard.

Intel DQ67OW supports sandy bridge, as is my i3 2120, and the Xeon v2 is Ivy bridge, will a firmware update solve this?

it could, that's what i was eluding to with the BIOS update. but if itwas fixable with a BIOS update the V2 chips should be on the supported list tbh.

i guess it can't hurt to check.

well since intel took them off ther website your only option would be to trust other 3rd party sites. but that's pretty sketchy.
