Bad cpu or incompatible cpu?

[Hsuyaa]

Hi guys, I am having a problem. I have an intel xeon x3440 processor which wont run in my h55 motherboard. the motherboard is from an indian brand called zebronics. I suspected the motherboard to be a dead motherboard so i went to a pc repair shop and they tried various different motherboards. The problem is, the fans and all spins, the pc powers up but there is no display output. I tried swapping or using single ram, also tried changing graphics cards, tried different motherboards, one was from biostar and i still just got a no display problem. I checked my monitor and no problem with it. I had the motherboard speaker installed in the motherboard but there were no beep codes. Only once the ram beeped when the repair guy put an incompatible ram in it. Thing is these people dont have a processor to test whether it is a dead processor problem or incompatibility issue of the processor. So i was wondering whether you guys could deduce any conclusions. I am totally confused here as to what the problem is. Thank you

Xeon CPUs don't typically work on boards outside of server ones, so I'd suspect the CPU is the issue more than anything else.

Typically, Xeons won't run on consumer-grade platforms without a BIOS update. If you can find a CPU to update the BIOS with, then it should work.
