So I have been running this system for the past few months with an Intel g3258, and everything worked perfectly. I recently ordered a 4690k to replace this, but the system would not start. After some digging around, I came to the conclusion that the BIOS was not updated for whatever reason, and proceeded to download it onto a usb and use the quick flash in the BIOS.
The part where things get iffy are that it may or may not have lost power during this process, or it may have not flashed correctly. Either way, now the system won't start. There is a jumper for a backup BIOS on this system, but I also can't get my system to POST or much else using either BIOS or cpu. Resetting CMOS according to the manual also doesn't appear to help unless I'm doing that wrong as well. If someone could help or walk me through some troubleshooting I would appreciate it SO much. I haven't called tech support yet but if there isn't anything obvious that's my next plan.
Thanks to anyone who can help at all.
