I recently replaced my AMD FX 6300 that was going bad to an AMD FX 8350 and now when I boot my PC I get no display on either monitors.
I've tried clearing the CMOS and I'm not sure what else I can do.


Specs:
CPU: AMD FX - 8350
Motherboard: GIGABYTE 970A-DS3P
RAM: XPG Adata V3 16GB (4x4)
GPU: Saphhire Nitro AMD Radeon R9 380x
OS: Windows 10

Remove the CPU from the socket and make sure that no pins ended up bent.

Reseat the CPU, be gentle.

If it still doesn’t work, it could be a compatibility issue with the BIOS. In which case you will need to throw the old processor back in, update, and reinstall the new CPU.
