[REQUEST] H81M-E/M52AD/DP_MB Core i5-4460

[aqil02]

Hi all, I have the following motherboard in the title and am trying to upgrade to an Intel Core i5-4460 (SR1QK).


What I get when I install it is a black screen with all fans spinning. The motherboard works fine when an Intel G3258 is installed. I have tried upgrading the Microcde (306c3 to Revision 27) and Intel ME Firmware (Version 9.1.37.1002 now). I've attached pictures from the BIOS as well.

I tried comparing VBios version with a similar motherboard which has official Haswell Refresh support (H81M-E Bios Version 0808) and the current VBios is newer than the VBios in 0808.

Link to H81M-E Bios: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LG...S-0808.zip (0808, as this is when Haswell Refresh support was added)

I would gladly appreciate any help in this. Thank you in advance.
