I just replaced my 4170 with an h40, to an 8350 with an h80i, and now my computer won't boot. Mather computer turns on, my GPU fans are on, the h80i's fans and LED are on. But I get no display.
 
maybe the board doesn't support the new processor............ or maybe you should have updated the BIOS so the board would recognize the new processor?

you need to go to the motherboard manufacturers site to see if the new one is supported and if the BIOS needed to be updated first.

if so, put old one back in, update BIOS, and then install new processor.
