I have it all hooked up, I can plug it in turn it on and I get all my correct lights, noises happen, fans turn but nothing happens on the monitor. I need to specifically get to the bios to see if my 125W cpu will work with this board. It will after a particular bios revision, but I forget which right now.

But that shouldnt make nothing come up, Any ideas?
 
Check the stickied Basic Trouble Shooting Guide on what to do when the PC does not POST. Report back after you've done so.
 
I did, and I have determined that the motherboard has an outdated BIOS revision for my CPU, but I thought that the motherboard will boot into the bios with out the CPU. I can take out both the memory and video card (no on board video) and get zero beeps.

So I guess there is no way to flash this bios with my current CPU. I need to buy the 140W edition, instead of the new revised c3 125W edition
 
The cheapest solution, if you have no other option, would to buy a new bios from ebay that already has been updated to the latest bios.
