I recently updated the PC I built which had integrated graphics with a dedicated graphics card ( GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC). This upgrade went fine, a week later I upgrade the CPU from an Intel i3-3225 to a Intel Core i5-3570. The install seemed to have went smoothly but when I turned on the PC I get a blank scree. The fans include the CPU fan all turn on, their is no indication that anything is wrong but the computer wont boot. I tried placing the i3 processor back in to see if it was a problem with the i5 but now that processor wont boot either. Any thoughts on what the issue is or how to best trouble shoot it? Thanks.

Its the most common issue.. what you can try is to reset the CMOS settings remove the ram and then re insert the ram
search the tomshardware you will find your solution if that wont help

When swapping CPU, make sure to reset CMOS after the swap but before powering up for first time. This forces motherboard to actively check for CPU installed. Also, make sure new CPU is supported by your current BIOS version. Maybe you just forgot to connect CPU fan or 4-pin EATX (or 8-pin EPS) to the motherboard after the swap.
However, if the old CPU does not work either, the first thing I would suspect would be damage to CPU socket during CPU installation.
