Encountered a BSOD or system crash during startup.
You placed your parts on a PC builder site and noticed some compatibility problems. The items themselves work, but the instructions suggest updating the BIOS to version F13. Visit your motherboard's site, download the BIOS installer for your model, load it onto a USB drive, and follow the setup guide if needed. This should help resolve the issue.
R13 isn't a compatible BIOS for this board. I faced this issue recently and ended up checking the official page: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B55...rt-dl-bios (saved for its difficulty). The board came with FB, but switching to FCc didn't help. Note 1.3 and 1.2 appear identical since they share the same checksum. Searching online shows version 1.0 is listed, though I'm unsure if it's still available. My current versions 1.2 or 1.3 don't support the BIOS files for 1.0.
The new CPU is performing well without any issues so far. I'm installing drivers and planning to apply updates. After completing those steps, I'll conduct stress tests!
