CPU and Motherboard compatibility

[Ryan115]

I recently had some issues regarding my CPU's compatibility with my motherboard and I was planning on getting a different CPU. Initially I had a Intel Core i3-7100 7th Gen Core Desktop Processor 3M Cache,3.90 GHz paired up with a GIGABYTE GA-H110M-A LGA1151 Intel H110 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard, but I read from a couple different sources that these two were not compatible. I was wondering if the Intel 3.70 GHz Core i3-6100 3M Cache Processor is compatible with my motherboard, and if not what CPU should I order in its place?

Do you have any older processor like a skylake, you could use it to update it then put in the i3

I have a very old (about 15 years) plentium processor, would I be able to use this to test without creating any permanent issues?

I did all of that, but still nothing is showing up... All of the lights and fans are working but the monitor says no signal

Do you have any GPU installed? If so connect your video cable to your motherboard. Nothing?
Check your monitor with another device just in case.
