Just swapped out my old fx4100 for a new fx8320. Installed fine, cooler master evo 212 installed fine. All turns on. However, when I turn it on, I get no graphic image on my monitors. The fans turns on and my regular beeps happen, but no image.

I've looked online and noticed people mentioning a bios update? But how do I do this in my current situation?

Mobo = A960D+

YES.! you'll need to update your BIOS before using FX-8320.
first of all , start your PC using FX-4100 and download the bios available at the official site of Biostar.
download the latest bios from their site for your motherboard only.!
Move that bios file to a pendrive and plug that pendrive to your PC and then restart.
while starting it says "Press Del to Enter BIOS" and somewhat like that there is a specific button for bios flash utility.
like F8 or F10 (I am not sure)
After pressing that button , one box will appear that will ask you to choose the drive i.e. your USB Drive.
and then follow the onscreen instructions.

Well you can most likely skip that part..

Follow the next steps, it will resolve this in 95% of the times:
1. Unplug all your cables including the pwr cable.
2. Press the pwr button.. it will release the pwr left in the system.
3. Pull the CMOS out (it's the small battery on your mobo).
4. Wait 10~15 mind.
5. Put the CMOS back and plug all your cables back as well.
6. Turn on the PC.

Enjoy!
