Hello, I recently purchased a new CPU for my computer. Upon installing it and turning on the PC i received No Signal from my monitor. I have made sure to plug in all cables, I have tried resetting the CMOS, but i get nothing. I assumed the CPU was DOA and returned it for a replacement. Today I got the replacement and tried once again to install the CPU just to get the same error once again.

Heres my build
AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition Deneb 3.5GHz (current processor)
AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (New processor)

ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+
G.Skill Ripjaws Series 16Gb (4x4) DDR3 1600
CORSAIR Hydro Series H100
XFX HD-687A-ZHFC Radeon HD 6870

Hello! I actually beleive to know what your problem is! Make sure to update your bios because it can cause problems when trying to install a new cpu. Once your bios is updated you should be fine for the long run using your brand new cpu. Hope this helped!
