A bit oddly phrased. What do you mean by 'updating my gpu'? Is that installing a new graphics card? Or is it installing new drivers?
That you mention you get a screen with the A10-7890k suggests to me you're still connecting the display cable to the motherboard and not the graphics card. If so, you need to connect the display cable to the graphics card first. Some motherboards may require you to prioritise PCIe over the integrated graphics.
