Well no one here seems to know what the situation might be. But in another forum someone noticed that the x99 extreme4 motherboard I am using needs to have a BIOS update to work with the brand new i7 processor I bought for this computer.

Well no one here seems to know what the situation might be. But in another forum someone noticed that the x99 extreme4 motherboard I am using needs to have a BIOS update to work with the brand new i7 processor I bought for this computer.
Obviously I cannot update the BIOS if I cannot get the display to work, so my follow up question, that maybe someone here will know, is can I buy an older processor for this moba, update the BIOS, then put my new one back into the board???
The processor I got is non refundable, the problem is that the cheapest processor I can find that will work with this build is still around 250. Not bank breaking but considering how much I am into this computer for I would really appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable than I could weight in on if this even has a chance of working before I start throwing good money after bad.
Thanks for all your help,
Bill
