You will have to put on bios 2.1, and borrow a older cpu to flash it, or buy a cheap celeron g530. Because you have a new ivybridge cpu, they are not compatible with this motherboard straight out of the box.

Thanks you, but with the new ivy bridge cpu, the computer dont work in any way? cuz the Dr debug has a number 55, and i thought it were the memory ram problem, compatibility, because the pc when i turn it on, it start well, not shut down, and the Dr debug, just put number 55, i believe, if the motherboard hasn't the bios, at least it will show something on the screen, like "CPu not recognized" but at least show something on the screen.. Thanks btw fast response ^^

Somebody else posted the same issue last week and they had no screen display either, so im sure its the cpu and not the ram.
