    Help: Upgrading Processor, Black Screen on Startup.

    As the title says I've been running this Mobo with a Core I3 Processor for a about a month. I finally got my new Core I5 but when I plug it in I get a Black Screen on startup. I tried both updating and resetting my BIOS but still get a black screen upon startup. Tried searching around the net for 2 hours but didn't find anything that worked.

    Here's my Specs:
    Running: Core I3 / I5
    Mobo: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/B75MAE33.html#/?div=BasicMSI
    Video Card: Geforce GTX 750ti
    OS: Window 7 64 bit

    you might just need to do a bios update before it will accept it

    It worked! Guess I had to manually install the BIOS instead of using the Live Update tool :/ . Thread can close now, thanks again!
