Craig wrote The default B85 BIOS will be compatible with your Haswell CPU...

So I'm not sure a BIOS flash will do anything.


So any ideas on what else it could possibly be?

You may need a BIOS update. i3-4150 is Haswell refresh. If the motherboard is on an older BIOS, it's potentially incompatible.

Everything is leading me to think that's the problem so I will most likely do that.

My bad yeah. I always thought the 4150 was Haswell and 4160 and 4170 was Refresh..

So yeah that is the probable cause.

I hate haswell code names... they really suck the way the name things.

Decided to order a cheap CPU that is compatible & update it with that, think that'd be the best solution?

I thought you could send in the mobo and have them update it?

You could send the mobo back to be updated, or update the BIOS yourself if you get an original Haswell chip.

Didn't know I could do that actually.

Went the second way & just ordered a cheap compatible CPU from Amazon.
