So I’m looking to either upgrade or replace my AMD A4 6300 with a different CPU but my question is, can I use any FM2+ CPUs on my motherboard, which has a FM2 socket?

Also, if my CPU won’t connect to my monitor, and I’ve tried all known steps to attempt to connect it, despite the continuous “No Signal” demon, can I just upgrade my processor to relieve the problem?
 
Solution
The FM2+ has a slightly different pin configuration to Socket FM2 with two additional pin sockets. Socket FM2+ APUs are not compatible with Socket FM2 motherboards due to the aforementioned additional pins.
