ASUS H87-PLUS and i5-4460

[JoshuaJZ]

When I installed my i5-4460 into my computer the fan spins but nothing posts on the monitors.  I read on tomshardware (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2140131/4590-4690-compatible-h87-motherboards.html) that I needed upgrade the firmware of the chip set and I'm completely lost on that front.  Before installing the CPU I flashed the BIOS, which upgraded it to the 2003 version(which is the newest version on asus's website), I was under the impression that that was all I needed to do to make my motherboard compatible with this cpu.

 

My Motherboard: https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/H87PLUS/

My CPU: https://ark.intel.com/products/80817/Intel-Core-i5-4460-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz

 

My Build Before Upgrade:

Pentium G3220

GTX 1060

12GB DDR3

EX2Treme 650 Watt Power Supply

 

After Upgrade(When I'm having Problems)

i5-4460

GTX 1060

12GB DDR3

EX2Treme 650 Watt Power Supply

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT:Wrong Bios Version

....download the latest bios than it should work.

this isn't related but why do you have 12GB?

 

If you have 3x 4GB sticks then buy another 4GB stick. RAM works in pairs or 2 normally and not in 3 whatever.

 

Just some advice.

The latest bios is 2003 on the website, I've flashed that and the CPU still doesn't work.
