Upgrading BIOS because its not detecting Processor
I bought a new motherboard and a new processor:
-asus b85m-g micro atx
and the processor is an intel dual core g 3420 - 3.2 Ghz with socket 1150.
In theory this processor fits into this motherboard... but... when i tried to make it work, i noticed i need to upgrade the bios to a newer version so it can detect the processor... and i cant update it without the processor on it.
How can i solve this'?

Thanks for the answer... it was bought online :(
One thing that you can also do, is swap just one of the two, and get the matching part.
Meaning order a different CPU, or different mobo; and keep the other.

After following all your instructions i've been able to find out that the motherboard was faulty, i had to get it replaced.

If the place where you bought them has a processor you can use to update the bios, then swap processors; then you can go that route...but this is a lot of work and not worth the effort unless you have purchased some high performance CPU/mobo and want the absolute best.
