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?

probably need a BIOS update first.. Or the mobo VRM can't drive the higher power i5 TDP.
