I think this may be the issue. but if this happens why doesnt it POST? i also tried the i7 3770K which was supported only on the version 1.6
Anybody have any idea how to update the bios without a compatible procie?
Your bios version seems to be a pre-B3 revision bios. Im betting you could possibly update bios with at least a 1.20 bios.
B2 revision boards are not compatible with new UEFI that supports Ivy Bridge.
Today "new" UEFI showed again but now they are equiped with Windows flash tool which check if you have B3 board. If you have B2 then installator won't flash new UEFI.
