GA-X79-UD3 and intel Q19D not posting

[emorris1911]

This is my first post and i want to say in advance, thank you for reading and for any comments(good or bad).
My specs. to begin with,are:

cpu: Intel q19d 8-core @ 1.6ghz es a4 stepping
Mobo: ga-x79-ud3 bios vf3
gpu: geforce 8800 gtx
memory: 4x1gb g-skill ddr3 10600
ssd: ocz agility 3 240gb
hdd: 2x400gb hitachi


Problem: need to update bios to f10 or f11,but cannot even post to bios to use the qflash or @BioS features. I have tried booting with nothing but the cpu, diagnostic beeps but no post ,added memory, again diagnostic beeps but no post ,added gpu, no diagnostic beeps no post nothing but a restart loop from hell.
I am not a newb, but by far do not claim to know it all, any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you

You need an older processor to flash your motherboard.

Why are you using an ES?

To be honest i am cheap and got this processor for next to nothing, soooo i thought i could use it on the board i already have(asus x79 pro) but it wont post on that board either. After reading quite a few forums about the q19d i found two instances where people used the ga-x79-ud3 board with a bios vf10 or vf11 and had stellar results.

Hate to revive and old thread, but I tried a Q19D on an MSI X79A-GD45 with BIOS 1.0 through 1.7 and it wouldn't post. I also tried my Asus P9X79 and it wouldn't post on that one either. Sadly, it did absolutely nothing, no beeps noise or anything.
