According to the Compatibility Report (attached), the i7-875K is supported across all BIOS versions and board revisions.

I also thought so, but when i inserted the cpu it beeps twice. Changing back to old cpu it works. Maybe i need external video card also? Is it possible that cpu need external video card?

As you can see in https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/Intel-DH55PJ/119 no one has tested i7-875k cpu on dh55pj or maybe i7-875k is incompatible with dh55pj motherboaed?

@freko   Have you not considered that the processor is bad?.

OMG! Did you even look at the attachment that I provided? What does it say at the end of the section for the i7-875K?
The processor has no graphics engine; you must have an add-in graphics card to use it.
