I just upgraded from an i3-2100 to an i5-3570k. they are both LGA1155 chipsets. When i boot with my i3 it makes the usual boot noise and everything works, but when i boot with my i5 it makes 4 loud beeps and no signal is found on my monitor. I have double checked and it isnt my GPU or RAM etc. What could the problem be?
 
You might have to update your BIOS for the new CPU to work. Put the i3 back in and update to latest BIOS.
 
Yep google the model number of your motherboard. Go to the manufacturer's page for your motherboard. Look for something like downloads and update the bios.
 
I just did this literally this morning.

Wouldn't boot properly and would erase bios settings to defaults.

Toss in the i3, download the latest bios and update. Then toss in the i5 and profit.
 
While they are both LGA1155 they are still different CPUs (Sandy vs Ivy). Updating the board to the latest BIOS should do the trick.
