Recently installed an Amd Athlon x4 760k on an Msi MS-7778 REV. 1 motherboard. (replacing an A6-5400k) Made sure that I applied enough Thermal Paste, even used the old heatsink, made sure it was plugged in. When I turn it on, The monitor has no signal, and the Keyboard doesnt light up. Cpu and video card fans are running perfectly. Any reason as to why this is happening? made sure my Motherboard is FM2 socket and so is the new CPU. I cant find any manuals of my specific motherboard model online.
Installed an AMD cpu, Display not activating, BIOS doesnt boot

Athlon 760K does not have an on board GPU like the A6-5400K does so if you have not added a GPU you will not be getting a picture on the screen.
The new Athlon's are an APU minus the GPU portion targeted at users who will be adding discrete GPU's.
If you do have a discrete GPU I would update the BIOS to the latest version available from the manufacturers website and try again.
Is the CPU listed on the manufacturers compatibility sheet ?

A 10 second google search revealed this CPU compatibility list for your motherboard.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03343058&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en#N130
Trinity Dual-Core A4-5300 65 W
Trinity Dual-Core A6-5400K 65 W
Trinity Quad-Core A8-5500 65 W
Trinity Quad-Core A8-5600K 100 W
Trinity Quad-Core A10-5700 65 W
Trinity Quad-Core A10-5800K 100 W
The 750K is not listed and is therefor not compatible. What I see is that the board only supports "trinity" generation APU's only (no athlons) where as the 760k is the newer generation "richland" I see a no go here.
