Mobo: BIOSTAR TZ68A+
Old CPU: i3 2120
New CPU: i5 2500k
My new CPU doesn't seem to work. When starting the PC the mobo light will turn on, then just before POST the system will restart. I've stripped out all components with just the CPU, PSU, and RAM in with no luck. After trying the new CPU I swapped back to my old one and the system boots fine; it's what I'm using now.
Is there anything I'm supposed to be doing on a BIOS level before installing the new CPU that I've forgotten? Following troubleshooting guides aren't very helpful as they mostly point to the CPU being faulty.
