Hi guys, I replaced my i3 3210 with xeon e3-1270. I installed necessary bios driver. But when I start pc, it's only black screen. No bios, no windows... What should I do? Motherboard is msi b75ia-e33. When I put i3 back in it says there's been new cpu or memory and starts bios or windows normally...

That chip is not supported by that board you will need a lga 1155 board with a "c" chipset for that cpu to work.

It does support. It's 1155, it also says on motherboard's website that it supports xeon e3-1270.

are you using on hoard graphics? If so that will be your problem as the xeon doesn't have intel's iGPU

I use gpu. Gtx 660. Is there somewhere in bios that I should disable onboard graphics before I install xeon?
