Hi, I'm in a pickle here. I just upgraded my CPU from an i3-7100 to a i5-6600k.

Upon turning it on after the upgrade, my monitor says "no signal." All the fans are running fine and the red light on my M2 SSD is on.

I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Solution
Does your motherboard have any POST indicator (e.g. LEDs that show POST status). That could be a good place to start. Also, you could bench the motherboard with everything except motherboard, PSU, CPU, and ram disconnected to start troubleshooting it. If it doesn't boot with that configuration, the likely problem is one of above components.
