It will not start and you can't get into the bios. It should beep like a banshee.

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.

Your going to need a cpu that's compatible with your current bios unless it's a Asus board with bios flashback capabilities.

Do what sam says, either get a compatible cpu or borrow one so that you can update your bios.

If you haven't already found the bios update it is "here"

And as @TomLambert_ says see if your motherboard supports qflash and if so use that to flash your bios.
