so i got a g3258 about a month ago and i tried to put it on an msi z87i but i couldent get the system to post. i used my 4670k on the same mobo to rule out that it was in fact the cpu causing the problem. so at the time i was like "no bigge ill just put it in my main system and put my 4670k on the itx board" so today i wanted to switch them back because the g3258 isnt very good with streaming so i did some research and my itx mobo is supported, but the page didnt specify which mobos had to have a bios update for haswell refresh cpus to work so i figured id give it a shot so i installed bios version 1.8 (latest) but still no luck 

 

any ideas appreciated thx in advance

Only thing I can think of is updating the bios to the latest one...

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

i7 9700K (5.2Ghz @1.2V); MSI Z390 Gaming Edge AC; Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB 3200 CAS 16; H100i RGB Platinum; Samsung 970 Evo 1TB; Samsung 850 Evo 500GB; WD Black 3 TB; Phanteks 350x; Corsair RM19750w.

The third BIOS down is the one that's for Haswell refresh. I'd get the latest one anyways.
