Hi, folks. I'm stumped:
I built my own PC a few years ago. I used an Asus P7H55-M Pro motherboard.
When I built it, I used a Core i3 processor (LGA 1156), but I planned to eventually upgrade that to an i5 or i7 processor.
That brings me to today. I replaced the i3 with a compatible i7 processor, but when I tried to start the machine, the fans turned out, and everything seemed fine, but I got one long beep and three short beeps. The monitor doesn't work, and, eventually, it shut itself down.
I thought I must have done it wrong, so I did it again. The same thing happened.
When I replaced the i7 with the original i3, everything was great.
The BIOS are up to date.
I know there's probably something every obvious that I'm overlooking, but I can't figure it out, and I can't find the solution online anywhere.
Any ideas? Is there some setting in the bios that I need to reset or something?
Thanks in advance.
