[SOLVED] No display after cpu upgrade

[Danez]

I tried to change an i3 2100 with an i3 3220 today and after the install, the monitor was not getting any signal.

I tried: -the BIOS restart with cmos clear and with the battery
-starting it with everything unpluged from the psu
-switching the ram sticks and trying with only one stick
-with and without GPU
-updated the BIOS

The PC works fine with the i3 2100. And the i3 3220 works fine in another motherboard.

What should I try?

Make sure that you placed right the cpu
Look for bent pins
Also, did you lined up the golden triangle with the one on socket

Need your full pc specs

Post full system specifications(CPU, GPU, motherboard, PSU).

you may entered the cpu wrongly. check the pins and that lever.

The cpu is placed right and there is no bent pin.

PC specs: CPU: i3-3220(new)
i3-2100(old)
PSU: nJoy titan 600
GPU: MSI Armor GTX 1060
Motherboard: DELL MIH61R-MB

Googling 'dell mih61r mb cpu support' shows that MB doesn't support your new CPU

Here's a thread from dell forums:

The A14 BIOS was supposed to support 3rd gen ivy bridge CPUs, but no one actually got a working 3rd gen CPU(like your i3-3220) working on this Optiplex 390 motherboard.

Your best bet is to upgrade to a 2nd gen sandy bridge CPU... the best you can do is getting an I7-2600/2600k as others have reported those working on your motherboard.

Oh lord, a Dai-tech/nJoy sighting. A dodgy Romanian company that, to celebrate having a single PSU get an 80 Plus efficiency rating and another an 80 Plus Silver, decided to give themselves fake 80 Plus Bronze badges for the rest of their PSUs.
